    Iron status influences mitochondrial disease progression in Complex I-deficient mice

    CJ Kelly, Reid K Couch ... Anthony S Grillo
    In vivo studies reveal that mitochondrial Complex I deficiencies induce iron misregulation and liver iron overload that may contribute to neurodegeneration in mitochondrial disease mice, and that iron restriction is effective in reducing disease progression.

    Atomic structure of a mitochondrial complex I intermediate from vascular plants

    Maria Maldonado, Abhilash Padavannil ... James A Letts
    The first atomic resolution structure of a mitochondrial respiratory complex from plants provides insight into the assembly and evolution of respiration in autotrophic eukaryotes.

    Cardiac mitochondrial function depends on BUD23 mediated ribosome programming

    Matthew Baxter, Maria Voronkov ... David Ray
    BUD23 links ribosome function with mitochondrial protein expression and efficient oxidative phosphorylation by promoting selective mRNA translation and is therefore critical to mouse development and postnatal cardiac function.

    Nuclear genetic regulation of the human mitochondrial transcriptome

    Aminah T Ali, Lena Boehme ... Alan Hodgkinson
    Common nuclear genetic variants are associated with fundamental biological processes occurring in human mitochondria and potentially point to novel roles for nuclear genes in transcriptional regulation of the mitochondrial genome.

    The Drosophila HNF4 nuclear receptor promotes glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and mitochondrial function in adults

    William E Barry, Carl S Thummel
    Drosophila HNF4 directs a developmental switch at the onset of adulthood that suppresses diabetes by promoting mitochondrial function and supporting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

    Transferred mitochondria accumulate reactive oxygen species, promoting proliferation

    Chelsea U Kidwell, Joseph R Casalini ... Minna Roh-Johnson
    Transferred mitochondria do not always regulate cell behavior by simply restoring mitochondrial function, but rather, transferred mitochondria are dysfunctional, initiating downstream signaling and proliferation in response to reactive oxygen species.

    Fine-tuned repression of Drp1-driven mitochondrial fission primes a ‘stem/progenitor-like state’ to support neoplastic transformation

    Brian Spurlock, Danitra Parker ... Kasturi Mitra
    A mitochondria-based 'priming' of stemness happens by fine-tuned repression of the level or activity of the master regulator of mitochondrial fission, Drp1, which supports carcinogen-induced transformation in a keratinocyte model.

    Selective sorting and destruction of mitochondrial membrane proteins in aged yeast

    Adam L Hughes, Casey E Hughes ... Daniel E Gottschling
    A new mitochondrial protein degradation pathway selectively sorts and destroys a subset of the mitochondrial membrane proteome to protect mitochondria in times of stress.

    Postsynaptic mitochondria are positioned to support functional diversity of dendritic spines

    Connon I Thomas, Melissa A Ryan ... Benjamin Scholl
    Correlated light and electron microscopy of cortical neurons reveals a local organization of mitochondria near dendritic spines with diverse functional properties.

    Aorta smooth muscle-on-a-chip reveals impaired mitochondrial dynamics as a therapeutic target for aortic aneurysm in bicuspid aortic valve disease

    Mieradilijiang Abudupataer, Shichao Zhu ... Weijia Zhang
    An aorta smooth muscle-on-a-chip model indicated that NOTCH1 insufficiency in HAoSMCs induced phenotypic switching from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype accompanied by an impairment of mitochondrial fusion, implying its potential role as a therapeutic target for BAV-TAA.
