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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the metabolism of the cell, they also play a key role in the integration of signals ...

It was already known that the barrel pores in mitochondria are made of a protein molecule that has to be folded up to 19 times through the outer membrane for this purpose. These so-called beta-strands ...

Advance offers a new way of investigating diseases -- including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and different cancers -- where mitochondria are disrupted. An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at ...

Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, are involved in several critical functions including cell division and preserving responses to various types of stress. Studying the details of the mitochondria ...

A Parkinsonian mystery—how PINK1 locks onto malfunctioning mitochondria—now has a structural solution. Researchers at the University of Melbourne led by Sylvie Callegari, Alisa Glukhova, and David ...

Mitochondria - the organelles responsible for energy production in human cells - were once free-living organisms that found their way into early eukaryotic cells over a billion years ago. Since then, ...

A Dartmouth study reveals how LACTB reshapes the inner membrane trigger apoptosis, opening new paths for cancer and neurodegenerative therapies.
