Mitochondrial DNA Density Homeostasis Accounts for the Threshold Effect in Human Mitochondrial Disease
Juvid Aryaman, Iain G Johnston, Nick S Jones
The paper develops a mathematical model to explain the threshold effect in mitochondrial disease by showing cells maintain wild-type mtDNA density through volume reduction until a minimum volume is reached, after which energy production pathways are upregulated.
