Most of the genetic information has been lost or transferred to the nucleus during the
evolution of mitochondria. Nevertheless, mitochondria have retained their own genome that …

Contrary to the long-held view that most humans harbour only identical mitochondrial
genomes, deep resequencing has uncovered unanticipated extreme genetic variation within …

Epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an emerging and fast-developing
field of research. Compared to regulation of nucler DNA, mechanisms of mtDNA epigenetic …

Mitochondria were first postulated to contribute to aging more than 40 years ago. During the
following decades, multiple lines of evidence in model organisms and humans showed that …

Decades ago, Otto Warburg observed that cancers ferment glucose in the presence of
oxygen, suggesting that defects in mitochondrial respiration may be the underlying cause of …

Explosive advances in next‐generation sequencer (NGS) and computational analyses have
enabled exploration of somatic protein‐altered mutations in most cancer types, with coding …

Mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes 13 proteins that are essential for the
function of the oxidative phosphorylation system, which is composed of four respiratory …

Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles that play critical roles in cancer. Here, as part
of the International Cancer Genome Consortium/The Cancer Genome Atlas Pan-Cancer …

Despite an increasing arsenal of anticancer therapies, many patients continue to have poor
outcomes due to the therapeutic failures and tumor relapses. Indeed, the clinical efficacy of …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are among the most common genetic events in all
tumors and directly impact metabolic homeostasis. Despite the central role mitochondria …
