Mitochondria arose through a fateful endosymbiosis more than 1.45 billion years ago. Many mitochondria make ATP without the help of oxygen. Aa Aa Aa What variety is there in mitochondria? Mitochondria ...
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 recent study published by the journal Science Translational Medicine found that SARS-CoV-2 infection inhibits the ability of mitochondria to produce energy in the body’s cells. This is the latest of ...
Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
The accumulating evidence that metabolic factors play a significant role in the many symptoms of mental disorders opens a whole new approach to treatment. Targeting mitochondrial function promises to ...
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 ...
