21. Systems biology of mitochondrial dysfunction
Abstract : The human body consumes vast amounts of metabolites that are transformed into one another, modified to useful building blocks and broken down to harvest their energy. Mitochondria are at the core of this metabolic turnover and oxidative phosphorylation provides most cellular ATP in almost all human tissues. READ MORE

22. Mitochondrial involvement in cell death : release of pro-apoptotic proteins
Abstract : In addition to the role of the mitochondria in energy metabolism, these organelles play a key role in cell death signaling. In particular, mitochondrial alterations, such as stimulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, decreased ATP synthesis, loss of membrane potential and the release of pro-apoptotic proteins from the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS), have been shown to be involved in, and often responsible for, various manifestations of cell death.

23. The plant respiratory chain: Redox responses and catalytic definition of alternative pathways
Abstract : The respiratory chain of plants contains both proton-pumping enzymes that conserve energy and non-proton-pumping alternative enzymes that bypass the sites of energy conservation. In addition to the proton-pumping complex I, plant mitochondria contain alternative type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, which allow oxidation of NADH and NADPH from the matrix and the cytosol. READ MORE

24. Structural investigation of human mitochondrial translation and off-target antibiotic binding
Abstract : Human mitochondrial translation machinery has evolved to translate 13 mitochondrial mRNAs encoding components of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway responsible for ATP production. The structural basis of human mitochondrial translation is distinct from the canonical bacterial and cytosolic translation systems. READ MORE

25. Human adenovirus – host cell interplay : The role of the cellular zinc finger proteins and mitochondrial DNA
Abstract : Human adenovirus (HAdV) is an abundant DNA virus with significant clinical relevance since it cauces a variety of respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal diseases. It is also intensively used as a therapeutic tool to treat cancers and to boost immune responses. READ MORE
