Intercellular Mitochondrial Transfer Pathways
- Molecular classification
- Other (Cellular Process)
01
Overview
Intercellular mitochondrial transfer pathways are mechanisms by which cells can share mitochondria to improve energy metabolism and cell survival. These pathways are crucial in physiological and pathological conditions, allowing cells to rescue each other from bioenergetic deficits and promoting tissue homeostasis. Mechanisms include tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), gap junctions, and other cellular structures that facilitate mitochondrial movement between cells.
