Researchers used mitochondrial gene editing to model genetic disorders in mice, revealing profound impacts on brain function, ...

Within the field of immunology, mitochondria transcend their traditional roles as mere energy producers and emerge as pivotal facilitators of host immunity against pathogenic infections. Their ...

Mitochondria possess two dynamic membranes that envelop a multi-copy genome essential for aerobic energy metabolism. Metazoan mitochondrial DNA is one of the most constrained and simplified genomes ...

Mitochondria possess their own DNA (mtDNA), which plays important roles in cellular respiration and energy consumption.

In recent decades, it has become clear that mitochondrial metabolism is reprogrammed to provide the building blocks cancer cells need to sustain their continuous growth. A large body of literature ...

Mitochondrial behaviour under low oxygen stress is important in programmed cell death signalling under low oxygen conditions. This is being studied in the wheat seedlings (roots) and protoplasts and ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative ...

Discover how CKMT2 controls energy balance and mitochondrial health in skeletal muscles, revealing a new link between ...

The nervous system perceives both environmental stress and internal stimuli and coordinates a range of physiological ...
