OPA1 regulates respiratory supercomplexes assembly: The role of mitochondrial swelling [PDF]
Optic atrophy type 1 protein (OPA1), a dynamin-related GTPase, that, in addition to mitochondrial fusion, plays an important role in maintaining the structural organization and integrity of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). OPA1 exists in two forms:

Simple kinetic model of mitochondrial swelling in cardiac cells [PDF]
Mitochondria play an important role in both cell survival and cell death. In response to oxidative stress, they undergo opening of non‐selective permeability transition pores (PTP) in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The iron chelator Deferasirox causes severe mitochondrial swelling without depolarization due to a specific effect on inner membrane permeability. [PDF]
The iron chelator Deferasirox (DFX) causes severe toxicity in patients for reasons that were previously unexplained. Here, using the kidney as a clinically relevant in vivo model for toxicity together with a broad range of experimental techniques ...

Different approaches to modeling analysis of mitochondrial swelling. [PDF]
Mitochondria are critical players involved in both cell life and death through multiple pathways. Structural integrity, metabolism and function of mitochondria are regulated by matrix volume due to physiological changes of ion homeostasis in cellular ...

The targeted anti-oxidant MitoQ causes mitochondrial swelling and depolarization in kidney tissue. [PDF]
Kidney proximal tubules (PTs) contain a high density of mitochondria, which are required to generate ATP to power solute transport. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous kidney diseases.

Mitochondrial Volume Regulation and Swelling Mechanisms in Cardiomyocytes
Mitochondrion, known as the “powerhouse” of the cell, regulates ion homeostasis, redox state, cell proliferation and differentiation, and lipid synthesis. The inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) controls mitochondrial metabolism and function. It possesses

A mathematical model of mitochondrial swelling
Background The permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes is a decisive event in apoptosis or necrosis culminating in cell death. One fundamental mechanism by which such permeabilization events occur is the calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability ...
