Golgi vesicles found to drive mitochondrial fusion

Original: Mitochondria fuse to survive, but the secret driver comes from a surprising Golgi-derived vesicle. #Science sugataai.com

New research reported by a science outlet suggests mitochondria fuse to survive under stress, and that the trigger comes from an unexpected source: vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus. The finding points to closer coordination between cellular organelles than previously understood, and is drawing attention among cell biology followers.

Why now: Readers are discussing the surprising role of the Golgi in a process usually attributed to mitochondria themselves.
