Mitochondria supply the body with the energy currency adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which drives all bodily activities. For ...

When "mitochondria are defective, people do indeed suffer." But the "mitochondrial approach to wellness carries risks, too." ...

Kennedy Jr.’s warning about mitochondria slipped in between the anti-vaccine junk science and the excoriation of ...

New research published in Nature Communications into hidden mutations in mitochondrial DNA has uncovered how high mutational ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within each cell and serve as “powerhouses,” combining oxygen and food to ...

The mutated stem cells also contained turbocharged mitochondria, which gave the cells a strong competitive growth advantage. "This was really unexpected," Trowbridge said. "This gene was not ...

Mitochondria, the organelles in question, are best known as power packs—places where glucose molecules are disassembled to release the energy that drives metabolism. Boosting a failing cell’s ...

The study tested a relatively new technology called CAR T cell therapy, which often uses a patient’s own immune T cells, modifying them outside of the body to make them more potent against certain ...

An emerging area of research is the evolutionarily conserved transfer of mitochondria between cells. Yet researchers have lacked unique and universally accepted terms and practices to describe such ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative ...

Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...
