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 ...

The World Mitochondria Society (WMS) is preparing for its annual Targeting Mitochondria 2024 conference, which will focus on innovative strategies to “charge” cells by supplying them with extra ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Mitchondria may be "watchtowers" of the immune system, contributing to our defenses against germs. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and are often referred to as the cell’s “powerhouses.” They produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, providing fuel ...
