To survive in ever-changing conditions in the body, cancer cells often need to alter their metabolism.1 This ability to adapt is especially critical for their spread to other parts of the body. As “powerhouses of the cell,” mitochondria have been linked to metabolic reprogramming and disease progression in various types of cancer.2 Over the years, scientists have found that cancer cells can steal mitochondria from other cells, including fibroblasts, macrophages and T cells.3-6 Gustavo Ayala, a pathologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, studies the interaction between cancer cells and neurons.

The mitochondria may be the powerhouse of the cell, but mounting evidence suggests this organelle is also a driving force behind cancer.
