YOU MIGHT KNOW them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

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 ...

Mitochondria can lose power like batteries, but they can potentially be regenerated—a promising development than can be used ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and ...

A signal sequence at the tip of a protein recognizes a receptor protein on the outer mitchondrial membrane. This causes diffusion of this tethered protein through the membrane to a contact site. When ...

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.

Some brain disorders are straightforward, such as the direct frontal lobe assault of a concussion or traumatic brain injury.

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