Often called the powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria are crucial for neuronal function, and their transport and distribution within neurons must be carefully regulated. Sheng and colleagues now ...

Following decades of being called “the powerhouse of the cell,” researchers recently proposed a new description that reflects the multifaceted roles of mitochondria. Danielle is a Senior Editor at The ...

The mitochondrial genome can help researchers map ancestry and better understand the inheritance of mitochondrial diseases.

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 ...

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging. An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Dr Bent ...

The study was published under the title "Metabolic rewiring caused by mitochondrial dysfunction promotes mTORC1-dependent skeletal aging" in Science Advances. The researchers undertook a specific ...
