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

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 ...

All mitochondria — in whatever organism ... including us, whose cells have an enclosed nucleus. Scientists make precise gene edits to mitochondrial DNA for first time After several evolutionary ...

Mitochondria, the organelles in question, are best known as power packs—places where glucose molecules are disassembled to release the energy that drives metabolism. Boosting a failing cell’s ...

So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that maintain life, said Donald Canfield, a geobiologist at the University of ...

Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

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 ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA ... Such damage also speeds up the aging process. However, the cells are normally capable of identifying such damage and ...
