MCU-independent Ca2+ uptake mediates mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and necrotic cell death in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
21 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload can mediate mitochondria-dependent cell death, a major contributor to several human diseases. Indeed, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (MD) is driven by dysfunctional Ca 2+ influx across the sarcolemma that causes mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload, organelle rupture, and muscle necrosis. The mitochondrial Ca 2+ uniporter (MCU) complex is the primary characterized mechanism for acute...
