Modes and mechanisms for the inheritance of mitochondria and plastids in pathogenic protists. by Sophie L Collier, Sarah N Farrell, Christopher D Goodman, Geoffrey I McFadden

“…Almost all protists possess mitochondria or mitochondrion-related organelles, and many contain plastids. These endosymbiotic organelles are crucial to survival and provide well-validated and widely utilised drug targets in parasitic protists such as Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. …”

Selective Autophagy in Drosophila by Ioannis P. Nezis

“…Autophagy functions as a cellular response in nutrient starvation, but it is also associated with the removal of protein aggregates and damaged organelles and therefore plays an important role in the quality control of proteins and organelles. …”

Lipophagy: Connecting Autophagy and Lipid Metabolism by Rajat Singh, Ana Maria Cuervo

“…Lipid droplets (LDs), initially considered “inert” lipid deposits, have gained during the last decade the classification of cytosolic organelles due to their defined composition and the multiplicity of specific cellular functions in which they are involved. …”

Mitochondrial abnormalities as a target of intervention in acute myeloid leukemia by Elissa Tjahjono, Megan R. Daneman, Bernadetta Meika, Alexey V. Revtovich, Natalia V. Kirienko

“…On one hand, it provides a source of building blocks for further cell division and serves as a method for removing damaged organelles, promoting cell survival. However, the profound metabolic changes to mitochondria also render these organelles more sensitive to damage and place them precariously close to excess mitophagic activation. …”

Cellular electron tomography of the apical complex in the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella shows a highly organised gateway for regulated secretion. by Alana Burrell, Virginia Marugan-Hernandez, Richard Wheeler, Flavia Moreira-Leite, David J P Ferguson, Fiona M Tomley, Sue Vaughan

“…The apical complex of apicomplexan parasites is essential for host cell invasion and intracellular survival and as the site of regulated exocytosis from specialised secretory organelles called rhoptries and micronemes. Despite its importance, there are few data on the three-dimensional organisation and quantification of these organelles within the apical complex or how they are trafficked to this specialised region of plasma membrane for exocytosis. …”
