Abstract: eLife digest Cells contain compartments called mitochondria, which are often called the powerhouses of the cell because they provide energy that drives vital cellular processes. Mitochondria have two membranes: an outer and an inner membrane. The outer membrane separates the mitochondria from the rest of the cell. The inner membrane is elaborately folded and the folds – called cristae – create a larger space to accommodate all of the protein machinery involved in producing energy. The cristae can be shaped as flat sac-like structures called...
