Once viewed only as power generators, mitochondria are now understood to play a role in mental illness. Their ability to ...

Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular ...

Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as dynamic signaling hubs that influence cell fate not only through bioenergetics, but also through exchange of ...

EPFL scientists have discovered that a simple shape change in mitochondria helps cells evenly distribute their mitochondrial ...

What if your organs aren’t working alone? Emerging research suggests mitochondria can move between tissues — and the implications are wild. In this video, we break down how this process works and why ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...

People need to sleep, and sleep deprivation can cause many changes in the brain. But we have a poor understanding of why sleep is so crucial. New research has examined a fruit fly model to assess how ...

A well-fitted ‘disguise’ allows transplanted mitochondria to slip into cells whose own mitochondria are defective, scientists reported on 18 March in Cell 1. Administration of these cloaked ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...
