Molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA release and activation of the cGAS-STING pathway
Inflammatory diseases: Understanding mitochondrial DNA release Cytosolic DNA activates the cGAS-STING pathway which mediates inflammation and antiviral response. One source of cytosolic DNA is ‘self ‘ DNA, such as mitochondrial DNA.

Analysis of Nuclear Mitochondrial DNA Segments of Nine Plant Species: Size, Distribution, and Insertion Loci [PDF]
Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment (Numt) insertion describes a well-known phenomenon of mitochondrial DNA transfer into a eukaryotic nuclear genome. However, it has not been well understood, especially in plants. Numt insertion patterns vary from species

Mitochondrial DNA and disease [PDF]
AbstractMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) defects are a relatively common cause of inherited disease and have been implicated in both ageing and cancer. MtDNA encodes essential subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and defects result in impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Mitochondrial DNA lineages of Italian Giara and Sarcidano horses [PDF]
Giara and Sarcidano are 2 of the 15 extant native Italian horse breeds with limited dispersal capability that originated from a larger number of individuals. The 2 breeds live in two distinct isolated locations on the island of Sardinia. To determine the
