Mitochondria are the small organelles that generate the energy our bodies need to grow, move, and stay healthy. As mitochondria have to constantly adjust their function to meet the cell's energy ...

A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Mitochondria-Associated 1), acts as a central hub in the regulation ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a particular part of the cell where that role is needed. One of the ways that ...

Mitochondria turn the food we eat into the energy our cells can use. But when stress hijacks the process they use to maintain their quality, they get snipped into useless fragments and go into a ...

A single-atom nanozyme mimicking cytochrome c oxidase restores mitochondrial energy production in stem cells, shifting their ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and are often referred to as the cell’s “powerhouses.” They produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, providing fuel ...

The green fluorescent signal indicates the stability of mitochondrial surface proteins (marked in red). Changes in cellular nutrient levels, such as the availability of leucine, alter the signal’s ...
