Combinatorial constraints predict that mitochondrial networks contain a large component
Raphael Mostov, Greyson R. Lewis, Moumita Das, Wallace F. Marshall
The paper uses extremal graph theory to show that mitochondrial networks are likely to have a large connected component due to combinatorial constraints, suggesting this pattern may be a null model rather than requiring specific biological explanation.
