Powering the Immune System: Mitochondria in Immune Function and Deficiency
Mitochondria are critical subcellular organelles that are required for several metabolic processes, including oxidative phosphorylation, as well as signaling and tissue-specific processes. Current understanding of the role of mitochondria in both the innate and adaptive immune systems is expanding. Concurrently, immunodeficiencies arising from perturbation of mitochondrial elements are increasi...
متن کاملWhen sleeping beauty turns ugly: mitochondria in hypoxia.
During the past 2 decades, it has become evident not only that the vascular endothelium is a physical barrier separating blood flow from the underlying vessel wall but also that it plays a crucial role in maintaining intravascular and extravascular homeostasis. Under physiological conditions, the endothelium works in concert with other vessel wall cells to maintain a balance in the regulation o...
متن کاملThe Semantics of the Goodness and the Ugly
There are different views concerning the meanings of the most important ethical concepts such as the goodness and the ugly. The author of this article while classifying various views and explaining them, tries to make a critical study of those views as well. Accordingly, first he goes on to examine critically the theory of emotionalists as one of the most important non-cognitive theories. Th...
متن کاملCalcium, mitochondria, and the pathogenesis of ALS: the good, the bad, and the ugly
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective and progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) of the brainstem, spinal cord and cerebral cortex. Key discoveries in the field of ALS have exponentially increased since it was first described in 1869 by Jean Martin Charcot, and the identification in 1993 of the first ALS-ca...
متن کاملMitochondria in Cell Senescence: Is Mitophagy the Weakest Link?
Cell senescence is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the loss of health and fitness associated with aging. Senescent cells accumulate dysfunctional mitochondria; oxidative phosphorylation efficiency is decreased and reactive oxygen species production is increased. In this review we will discuss how the turnover of mitochondria (a term referred to as mitophagy) is perturbed in se...
