Parkin regulates adiposity by coordinating mitophagy with mitochondrial biogenesis in white adipocytes

Parkin plays a role in mitophagy and has been shown to control adipose tissue browning and thermogenesis. Here the authors report that Parkin coordinates mitophagy with Pgc1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis in white adipocytes to regulate adiposity.
