Researchers have reconstructed transcription in human mitochondria in unprecedented detail, revealing potential drug targets ...

A team of international researchers led by Karolinska Institutet has revealed in unprecedented detail how tetracycline antibiotics impair T cell function by binding mitochondrial ribosomes and ...

“Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms,” said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to ...

By boosting the activity of cellular 'power stations' in the brains of mice with a dementia-like condition, an international team of researchers has reversed pathological memory loss.

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These mutations can give the cells a growth advantage, laying the foundation for ...
