A Key Role of the EMC Complex for Mitochondrial Respiration and Quiescence in Fission Yeasts

In eukaryotes, oxygen consumption is mainly driven by the respiratory activity of mitochondria, which generates most of the cellular energy that sustains life. This parameter provides direct information about mitochondrial activity of all aerobic biological systems. Using the Seahorse analyzer instr...
