Whether cells in the human body survive or die under stress depends, among other things, on their mitochondria.

Scientists at the University of Freiburg's Faculty of Medicine found that when mitochondrial energy production abruptly halts ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria play an essential role in maintaining cellular health. When damaged, they are removed through a recycling ...

Figure 1: Mitochondrial abnormalities in degenerating Mfn2-deficient Purkinje cells. Functionally, the mitochondria of Mfn2-deficient Purkinje cells had reduced activities of enzymes encoded by ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are ancient organelles within mammalian cells that are believed to have derived from free-floating bacteria. Scientists speculate that our pri | Immunology ...

Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new ...

Recent research shows that the immune system, which typically protects us from infections, and mitochondria, the energy producers in our cells, play a role in chronic pain. However, we do not fully ...

From early development to old age, cell death is a part of life. Without enough of a critical type of cell death known as ...
