“…In addition, mitochondria constitute an integral part of the mechanisms that control cell functioning and survival. This is exemplified by their established physiological role in cell differentiation (289), immune cell function (40,252,261), cell death regulation (20,123), calcium homeostasis (77,109,110,434), and neurogenesis (175). In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with a multitude of pathophysiological conditions, including metabolic disorders (196), cancer (6,53), diabetes (336,436), and neurodegeneration (188).…”
