Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are the small organelles that generate the energy our bodies need to grow, move, and stay healthy. As ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are structures that are found within the cells of your body. Their main function is to use oxygen, sugars, and ketones to make the energy that your cells need to function. Think of them ...

Nathaniel Ostle explores the research that suggests the activity of these microscopic powerhouses may have resulted in the ...

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