Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell ...

"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 of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...

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.

Mitochondria turn the food we eat into the energy our cells can use. But when stress hijacks the process they use to maintain ...

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

For over a decade, our lab has been investigating the role that mitochondria – the powerhouses that fuel cells – play in ...

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 ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within each cell and serve as “powerhouses,” combining oxygen and food to ...
