A space-station study examines how microgravity alters mitochondrial protein production and identifies a mechanical cell-adhesion link translating gravity signals to mitochondria.
Key Takeaways
- Study was published in Nature Communications on 30 June 1
- “We saw the general overview of how mitochondrial dysregulation was happening,” says Afshin Beheshti
- But the molecular mechanisms through which gravity affects mitochondrial biology are poorly understood, he adds
