Mitochondrial biology is a field of broad interest as this organelle is critical to cellular metabolism, bioenergetics, catabolism and redox homeostasis, and cellular stress responses, and ...

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production.

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP—the cell's ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Mitochondria, tiny structures present in most cells, are known for their energy-generating machinery. Now, Salk researchers have discovered a new function of mitochondria: they set off molecular ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox homeostasis, synthesize biomacromolecules, and initiate and transmit cell death ...

Scientists are learning how to revive faltering human cells by loading them with fresh power plants, effectively repairing ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial ...
