Where this comes from

Abstract

There is emerging evidence that mitochondria can move between cells, particularly from immune cells into cancers. Recent work from Zhang et al. in Cancer Cell employs single-cell RNA- and mitochondrial DNA-sequencing in co-culture experiments and patient tumor samples to detect mitochondrial transfer. However, the mechanisms, scale, and implications remain uncertain.
