Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

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 ...

Neutrophils (yellow) eject a NET (green) to ensnare bacteria (purple). Other cells, such as red blood cells (orange), may also get trapped. CHDENK/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Research from my ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

The findings shed a rare light on mitoribosomes, the unique ribosomes found within the cell's mitochondria. Ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look ...

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

Urolithin A, a natural postbiotic known to trigger mitophagy, rejuvenated key immune cell functions in healthy middle-aged ...
