Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria have been known as organelles that reside inside cells. But that textbook picture now seems to be wrong. An explosion of ...

Scientists have uncovered more than 20 genes whose mutations cause familial forms of Parkinson's disease. One of these genes ...

Conversely, a team at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, used rats to show that transplanted mitochondria stop damaged ...

For biologists, seeing is believing. But sometimes biologists have a hard time seeing. One particularly vexing challenge is ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged ...

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

Scientists have developed an innovative technique that combines expansion microscopy with mass spectrometry imaging to ...

You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste and ...

New research discovered that cold plunges can impact the way your cells work. Here's what the findings say and what experts ...

One promising technique – mass spectrometry imaging – overcomes some of these challenges. It allows researchers to see ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as “guardians” of mitochondria, small ...
