How does excessive ROS specifically block mitophagy flux at the molecular level?

OPEN

The study shows that excessive ROS leads to mitophagy flux blockage, but the precise molecular mechanisms by which ROS interferes with the mitophagy machinery remain unexplained. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing targeted interventions that could restore mitophagy function in oxidative stress conditions.
