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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In eukaryotic cells, which are found in complex organisms including humans, little membrane-bound organelles carry out various functions. It's been suggested that these organelles, which all have ...

A new study presents surprising evidence that mitochondria can run more than 10 degrees C hotter than the body's bulk temperature, and indeed are optimized to do so. Our body temperature is held at a ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...
