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

Mitochondrial fusion relies on membrane proteins Mfn1/2 and OPA1 residing in the OMM and the IMM, respectively. Mfn1 and Mfn2 form homo-oligomeric (Mfn1-Mfn1 or Mfn2-Mfn2) and hetero-oligomeric ...

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

A new study uncovers a novel mechanism through which brown fat is transformed into heat, offering protection against ...

Different import pathways and machineries exist for precursor translocation into the mitochondria. Mitochondrial precursor proteins begin their journey in the cytosol and are delivered to the ...

A novel mechanism that enables cells to maintain energy production even when their main power supply drops/fails has been ...

Mitochondria are crucial organelles for cellular homeostasis, regulating processes such as ATP production, reactive oxygen ...
