Maintaining mitochondrial dynamics and proper execution of mitophagy is crucial for sustaining cellular health. Defects in these processes have been linked to cardiovascular diseases and neurodegeneration. In a recent publication, we reported that the mitochondrial division dynamin protein DNM1L/Drp1 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2/Parkin work in a synergistic manner to maintain mitochondrial function and structural integrity in the mouse heart and brain.
