Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Eukaryotic cells generally contain several membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, the ER, the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes (Figure 1). Plant cells also contain large vacuoles ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in acquiring pluripotency and determining cell fate. The mitochondrial unfolded protein ...

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

Additionally, DAAO-produced hydrogen peroxide at the mitochondria membrane did not induce cell cycle arrest, whereas hydrogen peroxide produced by DAAO in the nucleus paused the cell cycle. While ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...
