Understanding the mechanisms of mitochondrial rewiring during viral infections

Understanding the mechanisms of mitochondrial rewiring during viral infections As intracellular parasites, viruses must hijack and often rewire organelles, signalling pathways and the bioenergetics machinery of the infected cell to replicate their genome, produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. Mitochondria are key eukaryotic organelles often referred to as the cell's powerhouse. They control many fundamental cellular processes,…
