Abstract

Organelles are membrane-lined structures that compartmentalize subcellular biochemical functions. Therefore, interorganelle communication is crucial for cellular responses that require the coordination of such functions. Multiple principles govern interorganelle interactions, which arise from the complex nature of organelles: position, multilingualism, continuity, heterogeneity, proximity, and bidirectionality, among others. Given their importance, alterations in organelle communication have been linked to many diseases. Among the different types of contacts, endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria interactions are the best known; however, mounting evidence indicates that other organelles also have something to say in the pathophysiological conversation.
