“What makes SPRIZ so unexpected is that it uses a familiar mechanism—a tether—to do something different: it connects the two mitochondrial membranes while acting as a rigid pillar that holds them a set distance apart, so the room between them keeps a defined height,” explains Dr. Luca Pellegrini, full professor at the University of Ottawa, who led the study.
