Cell-to-mitochondria communication by regulating the translation of NEM mRNAs. The translation of NEM mRNAs serves as a crucial communication node, integrating incoming signals and output cellular responses. Translation is regulated by binding to RBPs, which respond to incoming cellular signals (e.g. mTORC1, AMPK and insulin) and control translation in both time and space. In turn, ribosomal stress caused by stalled ribosomes transmits information about mitochondrial status and initiates stress responses.

In their Review, Eleonora Zilio, Elena Rugarli and colleagues @cecad.bsky.social @crc1218.bsky.social discuss the role of mitochondrial mRNA translation in cellular communication.
