美国约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的研究人员数年来一直在研究与癌症有关的人体细胞变化,但是探测细胞核内物质与癌症相关的变化非常困难。当他们转而研究线粒体时,惊奇地发现线粒体中存在大量与癌症相关的突变。他们在最新一期美国《科学》杂志上报告说,线粒体是人体细胞中负责为细胞提供能量的 Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University in the United States have been studying cancer-related changes in human cells for several years, but it is difficult to detect changes in the nuclear material associated with cancer. When they turned to study mitochondria, it was surprisingly found that there were a large number of cancer-related mutations in mitochondria. They reported in the latest issue of the American Journal of Science that mitochondria are responsible for supplying cells with energy in human cells.
