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 ...

A signal from the insulin receptor (left panel) leads to the release of Pink1 mRNA molecules from the mitochondrial surface, where the mRNAs are bound for transport with the help of adapter proteins.

Yellow mitochondria are exogenous mitochondria, and blue ones are recipient cell mitochondria. ① Endosomes bind to lysosomes, and mitochondria are degraded; ② Endosomes are in direct contact with the ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation ...

The evidence is amassing that alterations in brain energy metabolism are the first cause of all psychiatric disorders, from anxiety to schizophrenia, autism to Alzheimer’s disease. The metabolic ...
