[Cristae of a triangular aspect in the mitochondria of the corneal cells (strain SIRC)].

In rabbit corneal cells (SIRC strain), have been observed some mitochondria which, instead of containing the usual cristae, show triangular crystal-like figures as those previously described by other Authors in tissue cells of different animal species. Such curious geometric forms seem to derive from the inner membrane of mitochondria through a restructuration mechanism due to not very clear reasons about which some hypotheses are formulated.
