Biochemistry: A pore way to die
Andrew Halestrap1
Abstract
Like Jekyll to Hyde, mitochondria can change from acting as the cell's powerhouses to become merciless killers. Mice lacking this mechanism develop normally, and their hearts are resistant to pathological damage.
As part of normal development and tissue turnover, cells die in a controlled, energy-dependent manner known as apoptosis. However, in response to noxious insults such as lack of oxygen, cells die by an uncontrolled, energy-independent process called necrosis.
