The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

Mitochondria have primarily been known as the energy-producing components of cells. But scientists are increasingly ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century ...

Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell. We explain how they got this title, and outline other important roles that they carry out.

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm.

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell. In the 1960s British biochemists Peter Mitchell and Jennifer Moyle discovered how electrons derived ...
