In two recently published papers, scientists successfully recreated the mitochondria (in a simple form) and biochemical nutrient transport throughout a synthetic cell. While these are only two of ...

As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source of DNA damage. Despite this longstanding belief, few studies have explicitly demonstrated this linkage. Tobias Dansen, a ...

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 are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial ...

In 1931, Dorothea Smith observed variable mitochondrial networks in developing rat liver cells (Smith 1931). Over subsequent years, many scientists described complex mitochondrial networks in ...
