Quality control of protein import into mammalian mitochondria
Abstract Mitochondrial function depends on the continuous import of hundreds of nuclear‐encoded proteins. Targeting and translocation of mitochondrial proteins is a multistep process that is inherently vulnerable to defects in cytosolic quality control systems as well as perturbations in mitochondrial protein import machinery and organelle function ...

Enhancing the Chemical Reactivity of Graphene through Substrate Engineering
This review highlights methods to enhance the reactivity of graphene through substrate engineering, focusing on strain and charge doping. Strains induced by nanoparticles, metal crystal orientations, or stretchable polymers increase the reactivity of graphene.

Self‐incandescent heating (SIH) induces microstructural consolidation in biscrolled Cu/CNT yarns, resulting in improved electrical conductivity, a smaller frequency‐dependent increase in AC resistance within the measured range, and stable electrical performance under repeated bending.

Mitochondrial Transfer in the Tumor Microenvironment
Mitochondria are actively exchanged among tumor, immune, stromal, and neuronal cells within the tumor microenvironment. Such transfer rewires tumor metabolism, promotes immune evasion, and drives therapy resistance. Targeting mitochondrial transfer or harnessing mitochondrial transplantation represents a promising strategy to restore antitumor immunity

Mechanical Force Promotes Mitochondrial Transfer From Macrophages to BMSCs to Enhance Bone Formation
Mechanical tension activates Drp1‐mediated mitochondrial fission in macrophages, facilitating the release of Mito‐EVs that are subsequently transferred to BMSCs. Additionally, the CD200R‐CD200 interaction enhances the uptake of these mechanically stimulated macrophage‐derived Mito‐EVs by BMSCs, ultimately promoting osteogenic differentiation.
