Dynamic Control of Mitochondrial Ca2+ Levels as a Survival Strategy of Cancer Cells
Cancer cells have increased energy requirements due to their enhanced proliferation activity. This energy demand is, among others, met by mitochondrial ATP production. Since the second messenger Ca2+ maintains the activity of Krebs cycle dehydrogenases that fuel mitochondrial respiration, proper mit...
