Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...

“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in the release. “If we can safely boost this natural power-sharing system, it ...

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...

The nuclear envelope (NE) is a dynamic and selective barrier that organizes genome function and nucleocytoplasmic ...

Scientists reveal how sleep protects brain cells, manages metabolic damage, and may help explain links to Alzheimer’s disease.

Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

Life on Earth started out as independent microscopic cells around 3.7 billion years ago. And so they persisted for aeons until one fateful day around 1.6-1.8 billion years ago when two ancient ...

People are suddenly very concerned about the powerhouse of the cell.
