Extracellular Mitochondria in Health and Disease

Extracellular Mitochondria in Health and Disease, 1st Edition, presents an authoritative examination of extracellular mitochondria in intercellular communication and disease pathology. Authored by Carla Lopes and Paulo César da Silva Pinheiro, this book clarifies how organelle transfer influences cell-to-cell signaling mechanisms. It caters directly to researchers, academics, and students who require a grounded overview of non-cell-autonomous mitochondrial activity.

The work synthesizes core concepts surrounding the cellular mechanisms of mitochondrial transfer, detailing how transferred organelles participate in both metabolic signaling and immune signaling. In addition, it evaluates the direct interplay and functional crosstalk that occurs between extracellular vesicles and mitochondria across healthy and perturbed biological systems.

By detailing these core biological mechanisms, the text provides structured reference material tailored for scholars in biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology. It equips readers to analyze how extracellular mitochondrial dynamics modulate broader cell communication networks.
