This is a series of papers (three reviews and five regular papers) focused on Mitochondria from authors contributing to two FEBS courses on Mitochondria held in 2012. These papers focus on: (i) mitochondrial biogenesis (regulation by phosphorylation, import of SOD1 and Mia40, mitophagy and tRNA variants) or (ii) mitochondrial pathology (ischaemia, obesity and Parkinson's disease).
