The Dynamic Nature of Mitochondria : from Ultrastructure to Health and Disease Hardback
Edited by Andreas S. Reichert
Part of the Oxidative Stress and Disease series
Hardback
Description
Mitochondrial research has exploded over the last ~150 years.
This book gives an amazing view on a conceptual change in our understanding of mitochondrial biology.
It becomes clear that mitochondria are extremely dynamic in nature, controlling life at multiple levels.
Mitochondria rule energy conversion, adapt cells well to changing stress and nutrient conditions, and regulate many cellular processes including immunity.
The dynamic nature of mitochondria occurs at an intramitochondrial level but also includes its ability to interact with other organelles and to modulate multiple signalling pathways.
It is thus not surprising that alterations or inabilities to ensure this dynamic behaviour is linked to ageing and human diseases. The following sections give an updated view on mitochondria:Mitochondrial ultrastructure: molecular mechanisms shaping the inner membraneMitochondrial cristae and lipid dynamics: from super-resolution microscopy to lipid-OXPHOS interplayMitochondrial control of cellular homeostasis: from redox signalling to interorganellar contact sitesMitochondria in health and disease: from mtDNA release to Complex I assemblyAdvanced methods in mitochondrial biology and metabolism researchIntegrative view on mitochondrial research and outlookThe field of mitochondrial research has always been full of surprises and has helped science to advance tremendously.
It developed hand in hand with landmark developments in technology, such as super-resolution microscopy (nanoscopy), and is currently influencing an increasing number of scientific disciplines.
There is still much ‘new’ to find out about this ‘old’ organelle and I think that you can find interesting and also unexpected aspects of mitochondrial biology in this book.
I hope the book will enhance your scientific curiosity and inspire your own research.
