Researchers reveal that mitochondria in photoreceptor cells align side-by-side via specialized tethers, enabling ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...

The analysis showed upregulation of genes related to mitochondrial matrix, inner membrane function, the TCA cycle, and fatty acid beta-oxidation – all critical components of cellular energy production ...

Mitochondrial membrane structure is essential for ensuring proper mitochondrial ... protein complex that facilitates the transport of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane; ...

In addition to the supercomplexes, the researchers were also able to examine the membrane architecture of the mitochondria more closely. "It's somewhat reminiscent of lung tissue: the inner ...

2004). Under normal conditions, when mitochondria maintain a delicate balance of ions inside and outside their double membrane—in other words, their membrane potential—PINK1 is whisked across the ...

The first compartment is the ‘intermembrane space’, which is a narrow region between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. The second compartment is called the ‘mitochondrial matrix ...

The findings are published in Nature in an article titled, “Lysosomes drive the piecemeal removal of mitochondrial inner membrane.” “Mitochondrial membranes define distinct structural and f ...

How do mitochondrial organelles remove damaged parts of inner membrane for recycling in the cytoplasm? The discovery of an exit route that flips inner membrane outside the organelle provides some ...
