The inner membrane system of mitochondria us known to consist of two contiguous but distinct membranes: the inner boundary membrane, which apposes the outer membrane, and the cristal membrane, which forms tubules or lamellae in the interior. Using immunolabeling and transmission electron microscopy of bovine heart tissue, we have calculated that around 94% of both Complex III of the respiratory chain and the ATP synthase are located in the cristal membrane, and only around 6% of either is in the inner boundary membrane. When accounting for the topographical ratio of cristal membrane versus inner boundary membrane, we find that both complexes exist at a 2.2-2.6-fold higher concentration in the cristal membrane. The residual protein in the inner boundary membrane may be newly assembled complexes destined for cristal membranes. Our results argue for restricted diffusion of complexes through the cristal junctions and indicate that the mitochondrial cristae comprise a regulated submitochondrial compartment specialized for ATP production.

Mitochondrial optic atrophy-1 (OPA1) plays key roles in adapting mitochondrial structure to bioenergetic function. When transmembrane potential across the inner membrane (Δψ) is intact, long (L-OPA1) isoforms shape the inner membrane through membrane fusion and the formation of cristal junctions. When Δψ is lost, however, OPA1 is cleaved to short, inactive S-OPA1 isoforms by the OMA1 metalloprotease, disrupting mitochondrial structure and priming cellular stress responses such as apoptosis.

Article Synopsis
- In 2018, France introduced a new cardiac allograft allocation scheme to assess the risk of death for patients on the waiting list and after heart transplants.
- A study at La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital analyzed data from 2012 to 2021, involving 1098 candidates and 855 transplant recipients, comparing outcomes before and after the new scheme's implementation.
- The update led to a decrease in candidates on inotropes and an increase in patients with worse kidney function and more severe conditions undergoing transplantation, yet overall post-transplant outcomes remained unchanged.
Evaluation of Gas-to-Liquid Transfer with Ceramic Membrane Sparger for H and CO Fermentation.

Hydrogen and carbon dioxide fermentation to methane, called bio-methanation, is a promising way to provide renewable and easy-to-store energy. The main challenge of bio-methanation is the low gas-to-liquid transfer of hydrogen. Gas injection through a porous membrane can be used to obtain microbubbles and high gas-to-liquid transfer.

The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), which surrounds and stabilizes the fat globules, is released in buttermilk during cream churning. MFGM has many health benefits due to its composition rich in phospholipids and membrane proteins. Many techniques have been tried to separate the MFGM from the remaining milk solids non-fat, but they are challenging to carry out at an industrial scale.
