Abstract:
Mitosis is a cellular process that demands high energy, but it was previously unclear how this process is linked with mitochondrial ATP production. Zhao et al. describe how during mitosis, the lamin B receptor migrates to the ER membrane to enhance ER-mitochondria contact sites, coordinating Ca2+ surges that increase ATP production necessary for cell division.
