Abstract A number of literature have documented the phenomenon of apoptosis reversal. We have previously reported that when cancer cells are treated with apoptosis inducer, if the inducer is withdrawn at an inappropriate time, some cells would undergo apoptosis reversal and survive with increased aggressiveness. However, the reasons underlying the increase in aggressiveness are unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate whether enhanced mitophagy is the underlying rescuing force.

This book examines the most recent outmigration waves from Hong Kong (HK), a city experiencing drastic social changes since 2019, the year when it witnessed a series of social protests. Structured in three parts, i.e., HK–UK in continuum and the new HK diaspora in the UK; The new HK diaspora beyond Europe; and Transforming population geographies in HK, the chapters in this book analyse the post-2019 migration that occurred in the midst of the city’s fast-changing socio-political condition.
