Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...

Using new super-resolution microscopes, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Pennsylvania have for the first time observed electrical charge and discharge ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

A new study represents a first step towards generating highly detailed 3-dimensional maps of lung tumors using genetically engineered mouse models. Scientists have long known that mitochondria, the ...

The human brain is an organ that takes nearly from 20 to 25% of the energy the body needs. This high energy demand for neuronal functions depends on the transport and precise distribution of ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

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 ...

Scientists have recently reviewed the available literature to examine the critical roles played by mitochondria in maintaining homeostasis. The review summarized the involvement of mitochondria in age ...

Over the past couple of years, celebrities, tech bros, and biohackers have come to believe they’ve found the ultimate source ...
