Mitochondria are bilayer membrane organelles with basic metabolic activity. They are considered hubs for biosynthesis, bioenergy, and signaling functions, coordinating major biological pathways. Mitochondria are coupled to the oxidation of fatty acids and pyruvate through electron transport chains and have historically been considered the primary source of cellular energy. Recent studies have depicted that mitochondria are centers that promote inflammatory responses and play a crucial role in combating pathogenic infections. Moreover, Show less
