The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

People are suddenly very concerned about the powerhouse of the cell.

A new study represents a first step towards generating highly detailed 3-dimensional maps of lung tumors using genetically engineered mouse models. Scientists have long known that mitochondria, the ...

Scientists have recently reviewed the available literature to examine the critical roles played by mitochondria in maintaining homeostasis. The review summarized the involvement of mitochondria in age ...

In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in ...

I hazily remember back to high school biology (Hi, Mr. Larson! So grateful to you!) as we were learning about the structures of cells: the nucleus, the cell membrane and a few floaty things outside ...

Ultrafine particles, UFPs, the smallest contributors to air pollution, hinder the function of mitochondria in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study showed that traffic-related ...
