Exploring mitochondrial quality control mechanisms and mitochondria-lipid droplet interactions in cardiac cell models
Godtliebsen, Gustav (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-01-11)Mitochondria are the main energy producing units (organelles) in cardiac cells (cardiomyocytes). Cardiomyocytes have especially high mitochondrial content due to the heart’s continuous energy-intensive pumping. Studies of heart disease (such as heart failure) indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction is central to disease progression. There are many cellular mechanisms that protect mitochondria from ...
