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 ...

We can all recognise that feeling of muscle fatigue after taking a brisk walk, cycling, running or playing football. Our ability to engage in physical activity for long periods of time is thanks to ...

Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, are involved in several critical functions including cell division and preserving responses to various types of stress. Studying the details of the mitochondria ...

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 ...

Microplastics present in household dust and water damage mitochondria, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of disease.

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 ...

A recent study explains an essential component for proper mitochondrial function: The protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other. Researchers have uncovered an important ...

Researchers have reconstructed transcription in human mitochondria in unprecedented detail, revealing potential drug targets ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

A Parkinsonian mystery—how PINK1 locks onto malfunctioning mitochondria—now has a structural solution. Researchers at the University of Melbourne led by Sylvie Callegari, Alisa Glukhova, and David ...
