MIC60/mitofilin constitutes a hetero-oligomeric complex on the inner mitochondrial membranes to maintain crista structure. However, little is known about its physiological functions. Here, by characterizing Drosophila MIC60 mutants, we define its roles in vivo. We discover that MIC60 performs dual functions to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. In addition to its canonical role in crista membr...

The first event in atherogenesis is the extravasation of lipoproteins into the subintimal layers of arteries, where they are trapped by extracellular matrix molecules such as proteoglycans and undergo oxidative modifications that in turn lead to endothelial cell activation and local recruitment of inflammatory cells. The monocyte-derived macrophages transform into foam cells by an unlimited upl...
