Mitochondrial Function and Cell Size: An Allometric Relationship

Mitochondria also regulate proliferation through several mechanisms, as cell cycle and mito-chondria are closely hardwired [17]. Functional mitochondria are required for proliferation in Glossary 3/4-Power law: a widely applicable observation that organismal metabolic rate (R) is proportional to the mass (M) as follows: R/M3/4. ................
