New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Scientists have developed oral nanorobots that target damaged heart tissue, deliver energy, and repair mitochondrial function ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are formed from an outer membrane, a highly invaginated inner membrane containing cristae, and a matrix. Mitochondria ...

Mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes. The outer one is porous, and pyruvate can easily pass through, but the inner membrane is impermeable to pyruvate. To transport pyruvate into the ...
