Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy, a key mechanism in PD pathogenesis. However, no dedicated bibliometric analysis of mitophagy in PD exists. This study used data from the Web of Science Core Collection to map the global research landscape of mitophagy in PD. The analysis of 1,578 publications (2007-2024) identifies the United States as the most productive country. McGill University ranks as the top institution, and Nobutaka Hattori is the most prolific author. The journal Autophagy is the journal with the highest number of publications in this field. Core research themes included PINK1/Parkin, mitochondrial quality control, α-synuclein, neuroinflammation, and ferroptosis. The study provides insights into the current status of global collaboration and translational progress in this field. Future efforts should aim to further explore new pathways, enhance clinical translation, and promote collaborative partnerships to advance research and address challenges in the field.

Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
