An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell and also a key factor in unraveling life processes and disease mechanisms. As a platform featuring cutting-edge perspectives in mitochondrial biology, ...

Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress.

As the inaugural Director of the new Parkinson's Research Centre, funded by the UK Dementia Research Institute and Parkinson's UK, Professor Miratul Muqit (University of Dundee, UK) hopes to untangle ...

The evolution of eukaryotic cells represents one of the most pivotal transitions in the history of life, marked by the emergence of cellular compartmentalisation and increased complexity. Central to ...

The human brain is an organ that takes nearly from 20 to 25% of the energy the body needs. This high energy demand for neuronal functions depends on the transport and precise distribution of ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

People need to sleep, and sleep deprivation can cause many changes in the brain. But we have a poor understanding of why sleep is so crucial. New research has examined a fruit fly model to assess how ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell. These crucial, energy generating organelles even have their own little genomes, and make their own proteins. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA ...

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 ...
