Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, are involved in several critical functions including cell division and preserving responses to various types of stress. Studying the details of the mitochondria ...

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

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 ...

Advance offers a new way of investigating diseases -- including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and different cancers -- where mitochondria are disrupted. An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at ...

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 ...

Mitchondria are in a constant state of fusion and division inside the cell. Learn how this organelle is not just a passively floating ovoid structure. In 1931, Dorothea Smith observed variable ...

Newly published CU Boulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function A key takeaway from first-year biology is that mitochondria ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...
