As we have learned more about mitochondria over the past decades, including their essential cellular roles and how altered mitochondrial biology results in disease, it has become apparent that they are not just powerplants pumping out ATP at whim of cell. Rather, dynamic information energy processors play crucial directing dozens processes behaviors. They provide instructions to enact programs regulate various operations, such as complex metabolic networks, signaling innate immunity, even control cell fate, dictating when cells should divide, differentiate or die.
