Discovery bolsters theory that ancient mitochondria formed brand-new, specialized ‘sacs’ in cells by shedding their outer ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research publishing December 18 in the Cell Press journal ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers" of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...

Mitochondria are well known as energy suppliers, and powerhouses of cells, but they have other crucial functions as well. One of those functions is outcompeting pathogens for resources, according to ...

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major obstacle that limits effective cancer treatments. Various cells around the tumor promote immunosuppression and prevent the immune system from targeting ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

Starving yeast cells create a protective barrier in mitochondria that could reveal how cancer survives and resists treatment ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and cell function without genetic modification. (Nanowerk News) Biomedical ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute and clinical researchers from ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute have discovered a vulnerability in pancreatic cancer that could be ...

Mitochondrial defects are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Studies in mice and in human tissues, by researchers at the University of Michigan, have now found ...

Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and member of the Transdisciplinary Research Area “Life & Health” at the University of Bonn. The ...
