It also works as an appetite suppressant by communicating with parts of the brain that signal feelings of fullness
In this review, we first delineate the core mechanisms of mitophagy, then explore its complex, context-dependent roles in PDAC pathogenesis and treatment resistance, and finally critically evaluate the emerging therapeutic strategies of targeting mitophagy, concluding with future perspectives and challenges
