Mitochondrial Neurodegeneration

Massimo Zeviani et al.

Summary: Mitochondria are vital organelles responsible for generating energy in cells. Mutations in mtDNA or nuclear genes can lead to complex neurological disorders. Understanding these diseases is essential for the field of mitochondrial medicine due to the diverse genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity.

Mitochondria transplantation between living cells

Christoph G. Gabelein et al.

Summary: The study developed a FluidFM-based approach that enables the manipulation of organelles within single live cells. It allows for the extraction, injection, and transplantation of organelles with subcellular spatial resolution. The transferred organelles, such as mitochondria, can fuse with the host cells' organelle network.

Measuring Single-Cell Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number and Heteroplasmy using Digital Droplet Polymerase Chain Reaction

Stephen P. Burr et al.

Summary: This article presents a detailed protocol for measuring mtDNA copy number in single cells using ddPCR, which offers advantages such as the ability to measure absolute copy number and high sensitivity even at low copy numbers. The method can also be extended to measure heteroplasmy in cells with mtDNA deletions and SNPs.

High levels of TFAM repress mammalian mitochondrial DNA transcription in vivo

Nina A. Bonekamp et al.

Summary: TFAM plays a crucial role in maintaining normal mtDNA expression in different tissues, with its ratio to mtDNA being a key factor. It acts as a general repressor of mtDNA expression, but this effect can be counterbalanced by tissue-specific regulatory factors.

The TFAM-to-mtDNA ratio defines inner-cellular nucleoid populations with distinct activity levels

Christian Brueser et al.

Summary: Research has shown that only a minority of nucleoids in human cells are active, with these active nucleoids being larger and involved in both replication and transcription. Inactive nucleoids are characterized by a high TFAM to mtDNA ratio, suggesting a regulation of nucleoid activity. This inactive population may serve as a storage pool for mtDNAs with lower mutational load.

DNA polymerase gamma mutations that impair holoenzyme stability cause catalytic subunit depletion

Pedro Silva-Pinheiro et al.

Summary: Mutations in the POLG gene cause a range of disorders characterized by mtDNA instability. Researchers generated a mouse model with the A449T mutation, which impairs POL gamma activity and leads to reduced levels of POL gamma A, suggesting a potential target for future therapies.
