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

"If scientists can create artificial mitochondria and chloroplasts, we could potentially develop synthetic cells that can generate energy and synthesize molecules autonomously. This would pave the ...

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

People often refer to mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells, but they are also involved in cell signaling and death.

If scientists can create artificial mitochondria and chloroplasts, we could potentially develop synthetic cells that can generate energy and synthesize molecules autonomously. This would pave the ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells ... and artificial intelligence to unbiasedly identify only the dendritic mitochondria within ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

Mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the nucleus, the study found, where the DNA becomes integrated into the cells' chromosomes. And these insertions may be causing harm ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA ... Such damage also speeds up the aging process. However, the cells are normally capable of identifying such damage and ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells ...
