A shape shifting organelle: unusual mitochondrial phenotype determined with three-dimensional electron microscopy reconstruction

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, are dynamic organelles that constantly move and change their size and morphology to meet energetic demands of the cell (Wai and Langer, 2016). Recent studies demonstrated that energy production is dependent on the ability of mitochondria to undergo cycles of fission and fusion collectively termed “mitochondrial dynamics” (Youle and van der Bliek, 2012). Fidelity of...
