It is the mitochondrion, a small body which appears to play a central role in the oxidation of foodstuff. Its structure, as revealed by the electron microscope, mirrors its function ...

These are mitochondria of several distantly related unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that lack an electron transport chain altogether. They synthesize ATP from pyruvate breakdown via simple ...

The study shows that mitochondria do more than provide energy; they play an active role in modulating the immune response.

All mitochondria retain core genomes of their own, which are necessary for the control of membrane potential across a circumscribed area of membrane, enabling a 104-105-fold increase in the total ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

Hola, mis amigos de la ciencia! This week, researchers reported that hominins strode bipedally across Europe 500,000 years earlier than previously known. By making digital endocasts of bird skulls, ...

New research at the University of Alberta may make it easier to diagnose serious diseases that disrupt the body's energy ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial ...

Mitochondria power eukaryotic cells to carry out their varied ... As part of their work to characterize these mini energy machines in placentas, the team uploaded electron microscopy images of the ...
