In fact, if you put a cell in a new energetic environment, the mitochondria can change shape to maximize energy production.â Povelones seeks to understand the significance of different mitochondrial shapes and how they might impact cell development and fitness. âWe know that shape is important, but weâre not always sure how or why,â she said. âWe do know that in humans, if the shape is changed, it can cause disease.
