The identification of a point mutation (p.Ser59Leu) in the CHCHD10 gene was the first genetic evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction can trigger motor neuron disease. Since then, we have shown that this mutation leads to the disorganization of the MItochondrial contact site and Cristae Organizing System (MICOS) complex that maintains the mitochondrial cristae structure.

However, PK is also a transcription factor (TF), the contribution of which to GBM etiology remains to be established. The impact of PK on GBM cells proliferation was analyzed by real-time impedance measurement and flow cytometry.
