Mitochondria regulate energy production, cell cycle, and immune signaling. Li et al. recently reported that Toxoplasma gondii induces the shedding of mitochondrial outer membrane to promote its growth. Intriguingly, the hijacking of host mitochondria has been shown to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
线粒体调节能量产生、细胞周期和免疫信号。最近,Li 等人报道,刚地弓形虫诱导线粒体的脱落,以促进其生长。有趣的是,劫持宿主线粒体在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)发病机制中发挥着至关重要的作用。
