Targeting of Mitochondria and Proapoptotic Activities

Mitochondria are the well-characterized intracellular organelles needed for the production of ATP for all cellular processes. They also play a major role in the regulation of calcium flux and redox state. Moreover, since the mid-1990s, mitochondria have been considered as central effectors for the regulation of cell apoptosis [79]. Apoptosis is a cell death characterized by a number of distinctive
