A groundbreaking investigation from the Technical University of Munich has uncovered a crucial link between mitochondrial dysfunction and Crohn’s disease. This revelation could transform the ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Area of Focus: mitochondrial quality control, cellular metabolism, immune responses and the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. Fourteen years ago, Xin Qi joined the Department of ...

Scientists are increasingly convinced that the tiny power plants inside our cells are a major lever in how many calories we burn, even at rest. New work on “boosting” these mitochondria suggests it ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell's life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and ...

In this study, researcher developed a new imaging approach that combines two powerful techniques to solve this problem. First, a special type of microscope called a two-photon microscope is used, ...

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...
