IMC10 and LMF1 mediate mitochondrial morphology through mitochondrion–pellicle contact sites in Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2022
The single mitochondrion of Toxoplasma gondii is highly dynamic, being predominantly in a peripherally distributed lasso-shape in intracellular parasites and collapsed in extracellular parasites.

Is Myelin a Mitochondrion? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2012
It has been hypothesized that myelin acts like a mitochondrion, generating ATP across the membranes of its sheath. By calculating the proton motive force across the myelin membrane based on known values for the pH and membrane potential of the oligodendrocyte, we find that insufficient energy could be harvested from proton flow across the myelin ...

In silico simulation of reversible and irreversible swelling of mitochondria: The role of membrane rigidity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mitochondria have been widely accepted as the main source of ATP in the cell. The inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) is important for the maintenance of ATP production and other functions of mitochondria.

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

open access: yesPathogens, 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

open access: yesPhysical 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 ...

Mitochondrion: a sensitive target for Pb exposure.

open access: yesJournal of Toxicological Sciences, 2021
Pb exposure is a worldwide environmental contamination issue which has been of concern to more and more people. Exposure to environmental Pb and its compounds through food and respiratory routes causes toxic damage to the digestive, respiratory ...

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

open access: yesБіофізичний 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).

Mitochondrion-Dependent Cell Death in TDP-43 Proteinopathies

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
In the last decade, pieces of evidence for TDP-43-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases have accumulated. In patient samples, in vitro and in vivo models have shown mitochondrial accumulation of TDP-43, concomitantly with ...
