BioBuzz Highlights New Research from Dr. John Elrod and Lewis Katz School of Medicine Colleagues on Calcium and Mitochondrial Ultrastructure

View All News

New research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University shows that, when it comes to mitochondria, calcium has a vital function – serving as a regulator of mitochondrial ultrastructure. The new research, published in the journal Science Signaling, is the first to show that mitochondrial ultrastructure is regulated by the calcium-binding protein MICU1. John W. Elrod, PhD, Director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the Katz School of Medicine, is senior investigator on the new study. BioBuzz highlighted the findings.
