Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest study, leading cell biologists at the Max Perutz Labs at the University of Vienna investigated mitophagy – a form of autophagy – and came to a remarkable conclusion: the researchers have described a new trigger for mitophagy. This discovery has led to a reassessment of the hierarchy of factors that trigger autophagy. The newly discovered signalling pathways could also open up novel therapeutic options. The study has been published in the renowned journal Nature Cell Biology.

Long-term success of dental implants depends not just on bone integration but also on the health of surrounding gum tissue.
