Calcium homeostasis, involving the flow of calcium ions within cells, is essential for cell signaling and function. Importantly, calcium enters the cellular powerplants known as mitochondria, where it fine tunes energy production. Now, new research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University shows that, when it comes to mitochondria, calcium has another, vital function—serving as a regulator of mitochondrial ultrastructure.
