Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their ...

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 ...

Research led by the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne reports that misincorporation of ribonucleotides ...

The discovery centers on the unique strands of DNA contained within our mitochondria, the power stations of our cells. By ...

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 ...

Urolithin A has been called the “mitochondria makeover pill,” a powerful fuel to trigger cellular regeneration that makes ...

Cancer cells transfer mitochondria through nanotubes to healthy neighboring cells, turning them into tumor-supporting accomplices, a new study shows.

Mitochondria, tiny structures present in most cells, are known for their energy-generating machinery. Now, Salk researchers have discovered a new function of mitochondria: they set off molecular ...
