You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn ...

Researchers have developed experimental compounds that make cells burn more calories by subtly tweaking how mitochondria ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

How training affects cells is determined not only by whether we move at all, but also by how intensely and for how long we do ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

Mitochondria are often referred to as the energy factories of cells, generating ATP that the body employs for numerous tasks. Nonetheless, our mitochondria’s operation tends to deteriorate as we get ...
