The Emerging Network of Mitochondria-Organelle Contacts

Mol Cell. 2016 Mar 3;61(5):648-653. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2016.01.031.

Abstract

Membrane contact sites between mitochondria and other organelles are important for lipid and ion exchange, membrane dynamics, and signaling. Recent advances are revealing their molecular features and how different types of mitochondria contacts are coordinated with each other for cell function.
