Organellar Evolution: A Path from Benefit to Dependence
Microorganisms, 2022 Eukaryotic organelles supposedly evolved from their bacterial ancestors because of their benefits to host cells. However, organelles are quite often retained, even when the beneficial metabolic pathway is lost, due to something other than the original ...

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).

Quality control of the mitochondrion [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2021 Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute and coordinate various metabolic processes in the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction severely affects cell fitness and contributes to disease. Proper organellar function depends on the biogenesis and maintenance of mitochondria and its >1,000 proteins.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targets in Auditory Neuropathy
Neural Plasticity, 2020 Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) becomes an inevitable worldwide public health issue, and deafness treatment is urgently imperative; yet their current curative therapy is limited. Auditory neuropathies (AN) were proved to play a substantial role in SNHL

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010 AbstractDiverse biological data may be used to create illustrations of molecules in their cellular context. I describe the scientific results that support a recent textbook illustration of a mitochondrion. The image magnifies a portion of the mitochondrion by one million times, showing the location and form of membranes and individual macromolecules ...

A tryparedoxin-coupled biosensor reveals a mitochondrial trypanothione metabolism in trypanosomes
eLife, 2020 Trypanosomes have a trypanothione redox metabolism that provides the reducing equivalents for numerous essential processes, most being mediated by tryparedoxin (Tpx).

Lead and the mitochondrion [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1975 Summary In studies on the distribution of lead in rats given drinking water containing lead acetate at concentrations: 0, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 μgPb/l for one year, no change was observed in the organ distribution of lead, or in the subcellular distribution of lead in the organelles in the heart. The mitochondrial enzyme,
