Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

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 ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

Scientists have developed an advanced imaging technique for studying mitochondria. These organelles are often known as the powerhouses of the cell because they generate energy, but studies have shown ...

A new study reveals that a buildup of metabolism in specialized brain cells is what triggers the need for sleep. Sleep may ...

The findings shed a rare light on mitoribosomes, the unique ribosomes found within the cell's mitochondria. Ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look ...

Mitochondria are remarkable shape-shifting organelles that have long been understood as the powerhouses inside our cells. But relatively little is known about how the constant fission and fusion of ...

Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by excessive bone loss, leading to increased fragility and an ...

Chronic infections impact a substantial portion of the global population, presenting ongoing challenges to health care systems and compromising patient well-being. In a new study, researchers at the ...
