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 ...

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 ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

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

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

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.

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have used 49 pairs of identical twins to delve into the metabolic changes that can take place in fat tissue as a result of obesity, teasing out some distinct ...

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 ...
