Mitochondria-Driven Tumorigenesis: A New View of Cancer Metabolism

Are mitochondria active drivers of cancer development rather than secondary players? This article highlights a scientific review proposing that mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox signaling may play a central role in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy strategies.
Mitochondria role in cancer metabolism tumorigenesis concept

Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as regulators of cellular metabolism, immune signaling, and redox balance. This review explores how mitochondrial reprogramming may actively drive tumor development and influence responses to immunotherapy.

When Microglia Can’t Clean Up Their Mitochondria

Can damaged mitochondria trap the brain in chronic inflammation and drive depression?
This article explores how mitochondria–lysosome crosstalk failure locks microglia into a self-sustaining inflammatory loop, and how this mechanism connects to sepsis, T cell dysfunction, and the IRG1–itaconate axis.

Living Systems as Dissipative Structures

How do living systems maintain order in a universe that naturally tends toward disorder?
This article explores how thermodynamic principles explain biological organization, showing how cells maintain structure and function far from equilibrium through continuous energy flow, and how this framework helps interpret metabolism, ageing, inflammation and chronic disease.
