Structural diversity of mitochondria: functional implications.

abstract：:Little is known about how mitogenic factors generate growth regulatory signals and how these are mediated within the cell. We have developed three different types of mitogenic stimuli in order to identify the possible existence of common denominators in a complex and perhaps pleiotypic signal-response system. 3T3 cell...
