Can cells survive if they are born with less mitochondria than others? Turns out mitochondria won’t give up that easy.

Grateful for this Current Biology highlight by Dr. Mikael Bjorklund, which places our recent paper on mitochondrial volume and cell-cycle timing in a broader context.

Size control: Tune the mitochondrial volume to time your cell division!
A new study links mitochondrial volume control with growth and cell division, suggesting that cells not only sense their mitochondrial content but als…

How is mitochondrial volume maintained across successive generations of dividing cells? In our new preprint, we show how fission yeast cells use mitochondrial activity to control division timing and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis! (1/n)
