Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria provide 90% of our ...

Skeletal muscles are made of long, thin cells that are packed with highly organized proteins and organelles. During strenuous exercise, the rate of energy use in skeletal muscles can increase by more ...

Remember mitochondria? Those little "powerhouses" of the cell that many of us learned about in high school biology? It turns ...

Traditionally referred to as the powerhouses of cells, mitochondria play a vital role in the conversion of food into energy for biological processes in cell biology. However, in recent years, a ...

An organism that has been around from 2 billion years ago has given biologists from Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad (CCMB), a clue as to how mitochondria became an inseparable ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP—the cell's ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...
