Extracellular Matrix Control of Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Longevity
PROJECT SUMMARY Maintenance of proper mitochondrial function is critical to organismal health. Mitochondrial stress contributes to ageing and the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Intracellular insults, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial DNA mutations, and disrupted interactions with other organelles including lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum are relatively well identified inducers of mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet it remains largely elusive how mitochondrial homeostasis can be altered upon changes in cellular microenvironment, the extracellular matrix (ECM). In mammals, ECM remodeling occurs during aging and in multiple diseases including infections, cancers, and…
