Imaging of mitochondria positioning on microtubule using fast temperature regulation

Abstract of mmb1p Binds Mitochondria to Dynamic Microtubules

 Mitochondria form a dynamic tubular network within the cell. Proper mitochondria movement and distribution are critical for their localized function in cell metabolism, growth, and survival. In mammalian cells, mechanisms of mitochondria positioning appear dependent on the microtubule cytoskeleton, with kinesin or dynein motors carrying mitochondria as cargos and distributing them throughout the microtubule network. Interestingly, the timescale of microtubule dynamics occurs in seconds, and the timescale of mitochondria distribution occurs in minutes. How does the cell couple these two time constants?

Table comparing 3D liver cell models and their best uses. Rows: HepG2 spheroids: high scalability/HTS-ready, greater structural resistance, shift to quiescent tissue-like state; optimal for early HTS (acute cytotoxicity). HepaRG spheroids: high, stable CYP activity with robust induction; metabolically superior to HepG2; optimal for early–mid HTS (metabolism/DDI screening). PHH spheroids: gold-standard metabolic fidelity and weeks-long functional longevity; best correlation with in vivo CYP induction; optimal for late preclinical de-risking (chronic DILI, MoA).
