Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP—the cell's ...

A new study represents a first step towards generating highly detailed 3-dimensional maps of lung tumors using genetically engineered mouse models. Scientists have long known that mitochondria, the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising partnership between mitochondria and lysosomes that reshapes our understanding of cell biology. Instead of relying solely on the cytosol for protons, lysosomes ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

New genomic studies show that hydrogenosomes, hydrogen‑producing organelles in some anaerobic eukaryotes, have evolved multiple times from mitochondria through gene transfer and loss. Research on ...

Normal metabolic activity produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, if not eliminated, can damage cellular components. As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source ...

For decades, psychiatry has focused on neurotransmitters. Depression was a serotonin problem. Schizophrenia was a dopamine problem. Bipolar disorder was a mood stabilizer problem. This concept, while ...
