Involvement of VDAC, Bax and ceramides in the efflux of AIF from mitochondria during curcumin-induced apoptosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We previously identified curcumin as a potent inducer of fibroblast apoptosis, which could be used to treat hypertrophic scar formation. Here we investigated the underlying mechanism of this process.

A novel mutation in NDUFB11 unveils a new clinical phenotype associated with lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia [PDF]
NDUFB11, a component of mitochondrial complex I, is a relatively small integral membrane protein, belonging to the 'supernumerary' group of subunits, but proved to be absolutely essential for the assembly of an active complex I.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

To Include Plasmalemmal VDAC/Porin Pays
The paper of Teijido et al. (1) will hopefully stimulate closer contacts between structure people and physiologists in the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) community. It refines the VDAC model of Marco Colombini and also refers to the accessibility of the VDAC N-terminal end at mitochondria or the outer surface of the plasmalemma.

Maternal and perinatal effects of vaginal delivery after caesarean section
We aimed to determine the risk factors of vaginal delivery after caesarean section (VDAC) that may be effective on maternal and neonatal outcomes and compare the pregnancy outcomes of VDAC with the results of the previous caesarean delivery.

Abstract figure legend An evaluation of the degree to which mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide emission (mH2O2)‐mediated apoptotic and necroptotic signalling contributes to skeletal muscle atrophy in an orthotopic epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) model. To determine whether attenuating mH2O2 could prevent regulated cell death signalling and mitigate muscle

Abstract figure legend Graphical abstract of the proposed Ro5‐4864 mechanism of action via p62‐Keap1‐Nrf2 axis in heart failure. TSPO, the 18‐kDa mitochondrial translocator protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane, can directly interact with p62 (also known as SQSTM1), which is crucial for the degradation of damaged mitochondria by autophagy ...

Insights into VDAC Gating: Room-Temperature X-ray Crystal Structure of mVDAC-1
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a crucial mitochondrial protein that facilitates ion and metabolite exchange between mitochondria and the cytosol. Initially characterized over three decades ago, the structure of VDAC-1 was resolved in 2008,

The association of VDAC with cell viability of PC12 model of Huntington’s disease
It is becoming increasingly apparent that mitochondria dysfunction plays an important role in pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease (HD) but the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Thus, there is a still need for further studies concerning the upstream
