Whether cells in the human body survive or die under stress depends, among other things, on their mitochondria. Scientists at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Freiburg have now shown that ...
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 ...
This result suggested that cells can maintain mitochondrial reductive biosynthesis even when demand for mitochondrial OXPHOS increases, raising the question: how can mitochondria perform these ...
Within the field of immunology, mitochondria transcend their traditional roles as mere energy producers and emerge as pivotal facilitators of host immunity against pathogenic infections. Their ...
