An anaerobic mitochondrion that produces hydrogen [PDF]
Hydrogenosomes are organelles that produce ATP and hydrogen, and are found in various unrelated eukaryotes, such as anaerobic flagellates, chytridiomycete fungi and ciliates. Although all of these organelles generate hydrogen, the hydrogenosomes from these organisms are structurally and metabolically quite different, just like mitochondria where large ...

Characterizing the long-term nanometer-scale interactions between lysosomes and mitochondria in live cells is essential for understanding their functions but remains challenging due to limitations of the existing fluorescent probes. Here, we develop cell-

On the InterAktion between Hexokinase and the Mitochondrion [PDF]
The protein kinase Akt is now well recognized as a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. Work published by Majewski et al. in the December 3rd issue of Molecular Cell indicates that a major pathway by which Akt suppresses cell death is by stimulating the translocation of hexokinase to the mitochondrion.

The selfish mitochondrion [PDF]
Mitochondria match ATP supply to fluctuations in cellular energy requirements. Cellular energy requirements are often signaled to mitochondria by increases in the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ ions. These increases in Ca2+ reach the mitochondrial matrix to regulate the proteins, enzymes and transporters required for mitochondrial ATP synthesis ...

Optical Properties and Interference Effects of the Lens Mitochondrion
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.

Cell Biology of the Mitochondrion [PDF]
AbstractMitochondria are best known for harboring pathways involved in ATP synthesis through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Major advances in understanding these roles were made with Caenorhabditiselegans mutants affecting key components of the metabolic pathways.

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

The Mitochondrion: A Promising Target for Kidney Disease
Mitochondrial dysfunction is important in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases and the mitochondria potentially serve as therapeutic targets necessitating further investigation. Alterations in mitochondrial biogenesis, imbalance between fusion and
