Sometimes I read a paper that literally gives me goosebumps—not because it gave me the answer to a question I’ve been seeking ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...

A novel method for directing mitochondria to specific cells could reshape how scientists approach diseases driven by cellular dysfunction.

A groundbreaking investigation from the Technical University of Munich has uncovered a crucial link between mitochondrial dysfunction and Crohn’s disease. This revelation could transform the ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial ...

Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as dynamic signaling hubs that influence cell fate not only through bioenergetics, but also through exchange of ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the ‘powerhouses’ of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...
