As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

The brain requires continuously high energy production to maintain ion gradients and normal function. Mitochondria critically undergird brain energetics, and mitochondrial abnormalities feature ...

This post was updated Nov. 6 at 4:33 p.m. UCLA researchers have discovered that mitochondria, colloquially known as “the powerhouses of the cell,” generate power like battery arrays in a Tesla car, ...

Data from new fluorescent technology contradicts the basic assumption that mitochondria operate at body temperature. How hot do these subcellular structures actually get? Mitochondrial membranes may ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted accelerated approval to Forzinity (elamipretide) injection as the first ...

DJ-1 is a protein with wide subcellular distribution and pleiotropic functions. The loss-of-function mutations of DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease yet the ...
