Core Tip

Core tip: Deregulated redox signaling in mitochondria leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, associated with several disorders and disease states. Matrix Ca2+ rising can be linked through multiple pathways to the mitochondrial redox state. Here we describe recent progress in the field of mitochondrial Ca2+ handling. We further summarize how mitochondrial Ca2+ signals are influencing the mitochondrial redox state. This link between Ca2+ and redox signals is likely of central importance in the regulation of mitochondrial function in health and disease.
