Autophagy is a core molecular pathway for the preservation of cellular and organismal
homeostasis. Pharmacological and genetic interventions impairing autophagy responses …

Mitochondria have cell-type specific phenotypes, perform dozens of interconnected
functions and undergo dynamic and often reversible physiological recalibrations. Given their …

Mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is a phenomenon that abruptly causes the flux of
low molecular weight solutes (molecular weight up to 1,500) across the generally …

Neuronal development in the human cerebral cortex is considerably prolonged compared
with that of other mammals. We explored whether mitochondria influence the species …

Mitochondria are not only central organelles in metabolism and energy conversion but are
also platforms for cellular signaling cascades. Classically, the shape and ultrastructure of …

Mitochondrial energetic adaptations encompass a plethora of conserved processes that
maintain cell and organismal fitness and survival in the changing environment by adjusting …

During decades, the research field of cancer metabolism was based on the Warburg effect,
described almost one century ago. Lately, the key role of mitochondria in cancer …

Abstract Mitochondria contain about 1,000–1,500 proteins that fulfil multiple functions.
Mitochondrial proteins originate from two genomes: mitochondrial and nuclear. Hence …

Mechanical forces shape cells and tissues during development and adult homeostasis. In
addition, they also signal to cells via mechanotransduction pathways to control cell …

Mitochondria form dynamic networks in the cell that are balanced by the flux of iterative
fusion and fission events of the organelles. It is now appreciated that mitochondrial fission …
