Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production.

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

The mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, plays a surprising role in diet and health since its function in energy production directly influences body metabolism, that are also involved in aging ...

Mitochondria are remarkable shape-shifting organelles that have long been understood as the powerhouses inside our cells. But relatively little is known about how the constant fission and fusion of ...

Millions of people worldwide live with mitochondrial diseases. These are inherited conditions that make it hard for the ...
