MTOR and lung disorder: Lung I/R injury is regarded as the leading cause of primary graft failure after lung transplantation, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality.22 In recent years, much focus has been directed to the correlation of mitochondrial autophagy with organ systems and the development of some pulmonary diseases, while the specific mechanisms of mitochondrial autophagy in lung I/R injury remain to be largely unknown.3, 17 Therefore, the current study was designed and performed with the hypothesis that mitochondrial autophagy could promote I/R‐induced injury by inactivating the mTOR pathway.
