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

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 ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

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 ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Scientists have developed an advanced imaging technique for studying mitochondria. These organelles are often known as the powerhouses of the cell because they generate energy, but studies have shown ...

Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms." Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

Mitochondria are remarkable shape-shifting organelles that have long been understood as the powerhouses inside our cells. But relatively little is known about how the constant fission and fusion of ...
