In their Opinion article, Laurie Lee-Glover, Martin Picard and Timothy Shutt @mitomorph.bsky.social argue that mitochondria should be considered as the ‘Chief Executive Organelle’ – the CEO – of the cell. #JCSMitoSI #Mitochondria

Schematic showing that mitochondria can be understood as the ‘Chief Executive Organelle’ of the cell! Mitochondria play key roles in determining cell fate, including regulation of cell division, stem cell differentiation, senescence and cell death, akin to decisions a CEO makes about the growth, diversification or closure of a company. Mitochondria also control key cell resources, including ATP and a variety of other metabolites. Furthermore, mitochondria act as signalling hubs, mediating both intracellular and intercellular signalling, much like communication lines within and between organizations, and regulate innate immune pathways that act as the security system of the cell. Given the many instructive roles mitochondria carry out, we argue that they should be considered the CEO of the cell.

Fight AMR by joining our dual PhD programme project (co-supervised by myself and Professor Corinne Spickett from Aston University) to investigate a novel pathway that protects bacterial lipids from antibiotic-induced peroxidation, promoting resistance to multiple antibiotics.
