Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Organelles called mitochondria are transferred to blood-vessel-forming cells by support cells. Unexpectedly, these mitochondria are degraded, kick-starting the production of new ones and boosting ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

Scientists are learning how to revive faltering human cells by loading them with fresh power plants, effectively repairing and recharging tissues that had started to fail. Instead of editing DNA or ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers" of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...

Mitochondria isolated from onions entered lung immune cells in mice and restored their energy balance, revealing an unexpected way plant-derived organelles can regulate inflammation inside mammalian ...
