Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have made a major discovery in how human ...

Mitochondria divide to share the load when nutrients are scarce — plus, how smashing atomic nuclei together helps identify their shapes.

When nutrients run low, mitochondria in cells adapt by specialising for distinct roles, helping cells prioritise energy or ...

When mitochondria generate cellular energy from sugars and fats, they release ROS. Like pollution spewing from a power plant, ...

Their study, published in the EMBO Journal, reveals the detailed mechanisms of how mitochondria process transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which are essential for energy production. Mitochondria, known as ...

But while mitochondria may be enjoying some newfound fame, the importance of these cellular powerhouses is nothing new. In ...

Nonetheless, our mitochondria’s operation tends to deteriorate as we get older. This results in reduced energy production and the development of several health problems. This is where the ...

Concerns about COVID-19 have significantly diminished, but researchers continue to analyze its high transmission rate, aiming ...

Dr. Kim’s team revealed that once COVID-19 invades human cells, it quickly modifies the structure and function of mitochondria to abnormally enhance energy production, which is essential for ...

The main concern is the damage space travel seems to do to mitochondria ... this is associated with the disruption of cellular energy production. The report floats several potential causes ...

Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy ...
