Allen and Pennington et al. show that the cardiolipin-binding peptide elamipretide mitigates disease-induced fragmentation of cristae networks following cardiac ischemia reperfusion in rats. This study suggests that elamipretide targets mitochondrial membranes to sustain cristae networks, improving their bioenergetic function.
