General description
A cell-permeable oxygen bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex that has been shown to bind to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd = 0.34 nM) and specifically blocks Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria in vitro (IC50 = 184 pM) and in situ in intact myocytes (for complete block after incubation with ~10 µM of Ru360 for 30 min. Does not affect other cellular Ca2+ transport processes involved in cardiac muscle contraction even at micromolar levels.

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter, which mediates mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, regulates key cellular functions, including intracellular Ca2+ signaling, cell-fate determination, and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Here, we describe two complementary strategies to quantify the uniporter's transport activity. First, we detail a mitochondrial Ca2+

Mitochondrial Ca2+ overload can mediate mitochondria-dependent cell death, a major contributor to several human diseases. Indeed, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (MD) is driven by dysfunctional Ca2+ influx across the sarcolemma that causes mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, organelle rupture, and muscle necrosis. The
