Mitochondrial regulation refers to the control and coordination of various processes within mitochondria, which are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that play a crucial role in energy production and metabolism. This research area focuses on understanding how mitochondria function, adapt, and respond to changing environmental conditions, cellular signals, and stressors. It also investigates the regulatory mechanisms that govern mitochondrial dynamics, biogenesis, fusion and fission, quality control, and interactions with other cellular compartments. Dysregulation of mitochondrial function has been linked to various diseases, including metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, making mitochondrial regulation a key area of interest in biomedical research.
