Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells' energy centers—literally—to damage these power sources and trigger ...

As the cells correspond to individual patients ... would deny the opportunity to learn a lot more about the biology of mitochondria and on the factors within the oocyte cytoplasm that are required ...

Reporting in Current Biology, they describe and characterize mitochondria-derived vesicles ... Interestingly, however, when the authors studied cells expressing a dominant-negative mutant of ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small ...

For instance, the length of the leaf cell above is ten times the diameter of a red blood cell. If you increase a number by one order of magnitude, you are multiplying the number by 10. If you ...

We use microscopes to look at very small things. The microscope magnifies the image so that it appears larger than it would with just our eyes. The magnification of a lens on a microscope is shown ...

One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed ...

In 2021, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, reported an astonishing new form ...

In conclusion, by identifying PEBP1 as an amplifier of mitochondrial stress signals, our study provides new insights into cytoplasmic mechanisms which ensure appropriate responses to acute ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative ...
