YOU MIGHT KNOW them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

Tiny factories float inside our cells and provide them with almost all the energy they need: the mitochondria. Their effectiveness decreases when we get older, but also when we face many diseases such ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox homeostasis, synthesize biomacromolecules, and initiate and transmit cell death ...

In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have used 49 pairs of identical twins to delve into the metabolic changes that can take place in fat tissue as a result of obesity, teasing out some distinct ...

Scientists developed nanoflowers from molybdenum disulfide, designed with microscopic pores that act like sponges to absorb ...
