A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

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 ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

Yale researchers revealed how vitamin B5 fuels mitochondria, offering new insight into brain and metabolic disorders. The human body produces a molecule from vitamin B5 that plays a crucial role in ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

Mitochondria arose through a fateful endosymbiosis more than 1.45 billion years ago. Many mitochondria make ATP without the help of oxygen. Aa Aa Aa What variety is there in mitochondria? Mitochondria ...

Programmed cell death is an essential part of a healthy, normal life as the body removes old, damaged or unnecessary cells.

Prokaryotes are ancient, simple forms of life that include bacteria and archaea. These cellular life forms lack membrane-bound organelles. Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the ...

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 from Rutgers Health and other institutions have discovered why a powerful leukemia drug eventually fails in most ...
