A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

Newly published CU Boulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function A key takeaway from first-year biology is that mitochondria ...

The findings shed a rare light on mitoribosomes, the unique ribosomes found within the cell's mitochondria. Ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

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 ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...
