Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium (Ca2+) signalling are interconnected in the
perception and transmission of environmental signals that control plant growth, development …

The voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) protein, is an important regulator of
mitochondrial function, and serves as a mitochondrial gatekeeper, with responsibility for …

Research over the past decade has extended the prevailing view of the mitochondrion to
include functions well beyond the generation of cellular energy. It is now recognized that …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder. Although an
accumulation of brain amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau protein have …

Initially discovered in the context of photosynthesis, regulation by change in the redox state
of thiol groups (S− S↔ 2SH) is now known to occur throughout biology. Several systems …

VDAC1 is found at the crossroads of metabolic and survival pathways. VDAC1 controls
metabolic cross-talk between mitochondria and the rest of the cell by allowing the influx and …

Plant mitochondria differ from their mammalian counterparts in many respects, which are
due to the unique and variable surroundings of plant mitochondria. In green leaves, plant …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial in plant organogenesis and survival. In this review
the involvement of mitochondria and chloroplasts in PCD execution is critically assessed …

Regulation of mitochondrial physiology requires an efficient exchange of molecules
between mitochondria and the cytoplasm via the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). The …

Previous studies have already demonstrated that mitochondria play a key role in Pb-induced
apoptosis in primary cultures of rat proximal tubular (rPT) cells. To further clarify the …
