It details how shifts between fatty acid and glucose metabolism, mitochondrial quality control, and reactive oxygen species intersect with disease risk and progression. The paper outlines therapeutic opportunities that modulate mitophagy with emerging tool compounds and clinical candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese insights frame mitophagy as a shared control point for two seemingly opposite disease trajectories,\u201d said Gang Huang, PhD. \u201cTargeting mitochondrial quality control could enable precision strategies for cancer and neurodegeneration.\u201d The article includes comparative frameworks and curated tables on mitophagy modulators with potential translational relevance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Huang Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Huang Lab at UT Health San Antonio is a basic and translational cancer research group within the MD Anderson Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio. Our team integrates hematology and solid tumor biology with immunology and metabolism to uncover mechanisms and design interventions. We advance cell and biologic therapies, including CAR T\u2011cell approaches for solid tumors. We also conduct research in trauma and military health. We move discoveries toward clinical impact through product development and collaborations with clinicians and industry. Education and mentorship are core to our mission. We train students, postdoctoral fellows, and early\u2011career scientists in rigorous, multidisciplinary research. Together, we aim to deliver therapies and technologies that improve patient outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN ANTONIO, Texas \u2014 The Huang Lab at the Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio announces a new review in the Journal of Hematology &amp; Oncology: \u201cMitophagy\u2019s impacts on cancer and neurodegenerative diseases: implications for future therapies.\u201d Authors are Jason Huang, Vincent Truong Pham, Shaozi Fu, Gang Huang, Ya-Guang Liu, and Lei Zheng.
