Visual and functional demonstration of growing Bax-induced pores in mitochondrial outer membranes

We visualized Bax-induced pores in outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) using cryo-electron microscopy and monitored dextran release from these vesicles by flow cytometry. The data argue that Bax promotes mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization by inducing the formation of large, solitary, and growi...
