Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell. When these energy-giving organelles thrive, so do we. By Martin Picard edited by Madhusree Mukerjee.

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Mitochondria also initiate the suicide of cells that are damaged, cancerous or surplus to requirements; act as communications centres for signalling proteins; and regulate levels of calcium ions ...
