Mitochondria are not only central organelles in metabolism and energy conversion but are
also platforms for cellular signaling cascades. Classically, the shape and ultrastructure of …

BACKGROUND: Nearly all processes in living cells are pH dependent, which is why
intracellular pH (pHi) is a tightly regulated physiological parameter in all cellular systems …

Mitochondria extrude protons across their inner membrane to generate the mitochondrial
membrane potential (ΔΨ m) and pH gradient (ΔpH m) that both power ATP synthesis …

The mitochondrion is arguably the most complex organelle in the budding yeast cell
cytoplasm. It is essential for viability as well as respiratory growth. Its innermost aqueous …

Mitochondria are vital to life and provide biological energy for other organelles and cell
physiological processes. On the mitochondrial double layer membrane, there are a variety of …

Molecular studies of salt tolerance of eukaryotic microorganisms have until recently been
limited to the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a few other moderately …

Ever increasing environmental presence of cadmium as a consequence of industrial
activities is considered a health hazard and is closely linked to deteriorating global health …

Mitochondria must maintain tight control over the electrochemical gradient across their inner
membrane to allow ATP synthesis while maintaining a redox‐balanced electron transport …

Regulation of body fluid homeostasis is a major renal function, occurring largely through
epithelial solute transport in various nephron segments driven by Na+/K+-ATPase activity …
