Mitochondria play a crucial role in cytoprotection, cellular senescence, tumor metabolism, and inflammation. One of the key mechanisms regulating these processes is the transport of potassium ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane, mediated by specific potassium channels. The latest review article, Mitochondrial potassium channels: New properties and functions, published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) – Bioenergetics, …
