Scientists at EPFL have identified that a simple change in the shape of mitochondria plays a crucial role in the even distribution of mitochondrial DNA across cells.
This discovery addresses a long-standing question in cellular biology regarding how mitochondrial DNA is organized and maintained within cellular structures.
The findings may have implications for understanding mitochondrial function and its impact on cellular health and disease.
