Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now gained ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria—the parts of muscle cells that produce energy.

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria – the parts of muscle cells that produce ...

Eight weeks of HIIT increases both the number and efficiency of muscle mitochondria by expanding their energy-producing inner membranes.

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 ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...
