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 ...
Neutrophils (yellow) eject a NET (green) to ensnare bacteria (purple). Other cells, such as red blood cells (orange), may also get trapped. CHDENK/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Research from my ...
A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...
A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...
Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...
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 ...
Researchers uncovered how fatty molecules called ceramides trigger acute kidney injury by damaging the mitochondria that ...
Which exercise is superior for improving mitochondrial functioning? Which exercise results in the most dramatic positive ...
A research team reports that a parasite tricks mitochondria into shedding large structures from their 'skin', thus turning off their defenses. Mitochondria are known as energy suppliers for our cells, ...
