This study finds that high-intensity interval training increases mitochondrial cristae density in type 2 diabetes patients, with no baseline differences in cristae density compared to other groups.

This study finds that male elite endurance athletes have greater lipid droplet-mitochondria contact in skeletal muscle compared to recreationally active individuals, linked to higher organelle densities and specific size-related associations.

This study identifies SLIRP as a mitochondrial mRNA stabilizing protein that regulates mitochondrial structure and respiration in skeletal muscle, with exercise improving mitochondrial function through increased mitoribosome capacity.
