Recent experimental studies indicate that mitochondria in mammalian cells are maintained at temperatures of least 50 °C. While acknowledging the limitations current methods and their interpretation, we here consider ramifications this finding for cellular functions evolution. We whether as heat-producing organelles had a role origin eukaryotes emergence homeotherms. The homeostatic responses mitochondrial temperature to externally applied heat imply existence molecular heat-sensing system mitochondria. findings high innermost compartments mitochondria, those surface immediately surrounding cytosol remain be determined. ask some aspects dynamics motility could reflect changes supply demand heat, production factor diseases immunity.
