A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

A 3D reconstruction showing the inner mitochondrial membrane (red) herniating into a closely associated lysosome (green). The outer mitochondrial membrane is shown in blue and the nucleus is shown in ...

Freiburg researchers use artificial membranes to show how a particular protein reaches the mitochondria Mitochondria serve as the powerhouses of the cell, converting the energy stored in foods into a ...

Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel that powers most cellular functions. These organelles originated over a ...

A research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now gained ...

In a new study, researchers from Japan demonstrate that COX7RP, a mitochondrial protein, may play a key role in enhancing mitochondrial energy efficiency, leading not only to longer lifespans but also ...

Researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) report that mitochondria depend on a newly discovered recycling mechanism. Their research demonstrates mitochondria can recycle a localized ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria—the parts of muscle cells that produce energy.
