Abstract: Mitophagy, as a highly conserved cellular defense mechanism, precisely recognizes and eliminates dysfunctional or excessive mitochondria, thereby maintaining homeostasis of the mitochondrial network and providing a stable energy supply and raw materials for biosynthesis in cells. Mitophagy exerts regulatory effects on the development of osteosarcoma through multiple molecular mechanisms. Targeting this mechanism as a new strategy for therapeutic intervention provides a solid theoretical foundation and set stage for exploring novel targeted therapies, thereby driving the field of osteosarcoma treatment towards more precise and efficient directions.

Key words: osteosarcoma, mitophagy, cellular autophagy, metabolic reprogramming, signaling pathway
