AMPK regulates ARF1 localization to membrane contact sites to facilitate fatty acid transfer between lipid droplets and mitochondria [PDF]

Cell Death and Disease
Lipid droplet (LD) -mitochondrion contacts play a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle cells. However, the proteins that regulate these interactions remain poorly understood.

Optical Properties and Interference Effects of the Lens Mitochondrion

Membranes, 2023
The lens mitochondrion of the tree shrew, located along the optical pathway between the lens and photoreceptors, has been investigated. The results suggest that the lens mitochondrion acts as a quasi-bandgap or imperfect photonic crystal.

Perspectives on Mitochondria–ER and Mitochondria–Lipid Droplet Contact in Hepatocytes and Hepatic Lipid Metabolism

Cells, 2021
Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrion–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrion–lipid droplet (LD) contact sites are critical in regulating lipid metabolism in cells.

Mitochondrion-specific dendritic lipopeptide liposomes for targeted sub-cellular delivery

Nature Communications, 2021
The mitochondrion is an important sub-cellular organelle responsible for the cellular energetic source and processes. Owing to its unique sensitivity to heat and reactive oxygen species, the mitochondrion is an appropriate target for photothermal and ...

Of mitochondrion and COVID-19

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
COVID-19, a pandemic disease caused by a viral infection, is associated with a high mortality rate. Most of the signs and symptoms, e.g. cytokine storm, electrolytes imbalances, thromboembolism, etc., are related to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Inventory and Evolution of Mitochondrion-localized Family A DNA Polymerases in Euglenozoa

Pathogens, 2020
The order Trypanosomatida has been well studied due to its pathogenicity and the unique biology of the mitochondrion. In Trypanosoma brucei, four DNA polymerases, namely PolIA, PolIB, PolIC, and PolID, related to bacterial DNA polymerase I (PolI), were ...

Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Skeletal Muscle Injury: From An Ultrastructure Aspect: A Review

Physical Activity and Health, 2021
The contraction of skeletal muscle (SM) plays an important role in providing power for the body to participate in physical activities. Nevertheless, unaccustomed motions, especially eccentric exercises (EE), might cause changes in ultrastructure and ...

A Note on the Consequences of a Hot Mitochondrion: Some Recent Developments and Open Questions

Біофізичний вісник, 2020
Background: Chrétien and co-workers (PLOS Biology. 2018;16(1):e2003992) recently suggested that the mitochondrion might possibly be hotter than its surrounding (by as much as 10°C).

Identification of Fis1 Interactors in Toxoplasma gondii Reveals a Novel Protein Required for Peripheral Distribution of the Mitochondrion

mBio, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii’s single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite’s life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes ...
