Cover Story: Altered cancer metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Cancer cells have a different metabolism compared to normal cells, and this is associated with alterations in mitochondria function and dynamics. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles. Their structure, function, and cellular distribution can reflect metabolic changes, and the role of mitochondria in cancer progression has recently started to attract interest. The tumor microenvironment, in particular the extracellular matrix, plays a critical role in cancer and the interaction between extracellular matrix and the tumor is important for cancer cell growth and invasion. In this review, we discuss the interplay between extracellular matrix and mitochondria and how changes in matrix stiffness and structure can affect mitochondria function and dynamics, which in turn can promote cancer initiation and progression. View this paper
