Mitochondria Signaling Pathway Links Energy Conversion And Cell Division

Monday, November 10, 2014 - 14:30 in Physics & Chemistry

When a cell divides, it passes through a sequence of complex events and mitochondria, the organelles called the power plants of the cell, are the main source of energy for these processes: They convert food into energy the cell can use. Freiburg biochemists Dr. Angelika Harbauer and professor Chris Meisinger led a team that have discovered a signaling path that links these two key tasks, cell division and energy conversion. . read more
