Mitochondrial translation occurs preferentially in the peri-nuclear mitochondrial network of cultured human cells.

The paper shows that mitochondrial translation is preferentially localized in the peri-nuclear mitochondrial network in cultured human cells, despite similar levels of mitoribosomal proteins and rRNA in peripheral regions.

High resolution imaging of nascent mitochondrial protein synthesis in cultured human cells.

This study uses advanced imaging to show that mitochondrial protein synthesis in human cells mainly occurs at cristae membranes, separate from RNA processing sites.
