Abstract
Tight mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contacts (MERCS) play essential roles in cellular homeostasis. Brar et al. reveal a novel mechanism where mitochondrial mRNAs escape global translational repression at novel context-specific MERCS during ER stress, uncovering spatially regulated translation as a critical adaptive strategy to cope with cellular stress.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Cell Biology stands as a prominent review journal in molecular and cell biology. Monthly review articles track the current breadth and depth of research in cell biology, reporting on emerging developments and integrating various methods, disciplines, and principles. Beyond Reviews, the journal features Opinion articles that follow trends, offer innovative ideas, and provide insights into the implications of new developments, suggesting future directions. All articles are commissioned from leading scientists and undergo rigorous peer-review to ensure balance and accuracy.
