The cell NAD+/NADH ratio can constrain biomass synthesis and influence proliferation in nutrient-limited environments. However, which cell processes regulate the NAD+/NADH ratio is not known. Here, we ...

Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are formed from an outer membrane, a highly invaginated inner membrane containing cristae, and a matrix. Mitochondria ...

Membrane fission involves the splitting of a single, contiguous membrane into two parts. This process requires energy and is involved in cell division, endocytosis, transport carrier formation ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

A research team led by Professor Koji Eto revealed that disruptions of the KCNN4 potassium channel impair mitochondrial ...

OMVs were enriched in membrane proteins (n = 98), suggesting that MH-5 outer membrane proteins were highly enriched in OMVs. Additionally, the most prominent proteins analyzed from 282 proteins, which ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by aging leads to decreased energy metabolism, resulting in functional decline and increased frailty in multiple tissues. Strategies for protecting and activating ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are powerful tools in combating drug-resistant bacteria. However, their clinical application is hindered by poor pharmacokinetics and suboptimal antimicrobial activity.
