Show MERCI on mobile mitochondria

Cell Metab. 2024 Jan 2;36(1):5-7. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2023.12.017.ABSTRACTThere is emerging evidence that mitochondria can move between cells, particularly from immune cells into cancers. Recent work from Zhang et al. in Cancer Cell employs single-cell RNA- and mitochondrial DNA-sequencing in co-culture experiments and patient tumor samples to detect mitochondrial transfer. However, the mechanisms, scale, and implications remain uncertain.PMID:38171338 | DOI:10.1016/j.cmet.2023.12.017
