JCS snapshot: A ULK1–MTFR1L feedback loop links mitochondrial fission, mitophagy and apoptosis
Posted by FocalPlane, on 22 July 2026
In our latest JCS snapshot we hear from Riccardo Babic, Leon Lucya and Christoph Reiter, who, together with Claudine Kraft and team, identified a ULK1–MTFR1L feedback loop which links mitochondrial fission, mitophagy and apoptosis. In this snapshot, Riccardo, Leon and Christoph take us through the key findings from their research.
