Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Mitochondria arose through a fateful endosymbiosis more than 1.45 billion years ago. Many mitochondria make ATP without the help of oxygen. Aa Aa Aa What variety is there in mitochondria?

WEHI researchers have solved a decades-long mystery by determining the structure of human PINK1, a key protein linked to ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, ...

Skeptics love to bring up one particular topic regarding long-term human space exploration—radiation. So far, all of the research completed on it has been relatively limited and has shown nothing but ...

Sometime around 2 billion years ago, a bacterium slipped inside a larger cell, started producing energy there, and became the indispensable powerhouse we know today as the mitochondrion, so the ...

As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source of DNA damage. Despite this longstanding belief, few studies have explicitly demonstrated this linkage. Tobias Dansen, a ...

This new cryo-EM structure represents a remarkable advance in our understanding of how human PINK1 is stabilized” said ...

Mitochondria are often referred to as the energy factories of cells, generating ATP that the body employs for numerous tasks. Nonetheless, our mitochondria’s operation tends to deteriorate as we ...

In humans and other multicellular organisms, cells multiply. This defining feature allows embryos to grow into adulthood, and enables the healing of the many bumps, bruises and scrapes along the way.

Prince Frederik, 22, was a founder and the creative director of a foundation that raised awareness of POLG disorder.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed ...
