[Cristae of a triangular aspect in the mitochondria of the corneal cells (strain SIRC)]. / Cristae di aspetto triangolare in mitocondri di cellule corneali di collezione (ceppo SIRC)

In rabbit corneal cells (SIRC strain), have been observed some mitochondria which, instead of containing the usual cristae, show triangular crystal-like figures as those previously described by other Authors in tissue cells of different animal species. Such curious geometric forms seem to derive from the inner membrane of mitochondria through a restructuration mechanism due to not very clear reasons about which some hypotheses are formulated.
