Proteomic studies revealed that mitochondria contain ∼1,000 (in yeast) to 1,500 (in humans) different proteins and led to the recent identification of new mitochondrial import pathways and ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...

The study shows that mitochondria do more than provide energy; they play an active role in modulating the immune response.

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

A new study uncovers a novel mechanism through which brown fat is transformed into heat, offering protection against ...

A novel mechanism that enables cells to maintain energy production even when their main power supply drops/fails has been ...

Mitochondria are critical for cellular homeostasis, regulating bioenergetics, redox balance, Ca2+ signaling, and cell death. Mitochondrial Ca2+ (Ca2+mito) plays a dual role in physiological processes ...

There are several mechanisms involved. The newly reported research has uncovered one mechanism, which they found is controlled by the mitochondrial protein MCJ. The researchers first identified ...

An enzyme that helps clear damaged mitochondria can act as a molecular switch and potentially prevent neurons from dying.
