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

This makes it a critical part of prokaryotic cell function. Prokaryotes do not have mitochondria. Interestingly, one widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution, known as the endosymbiotic theory, ...

A thermal stability-based proteomic analysis identifies cytoplasmic PEBP1 as a mediator of mitochondrial dysfunction-induced stress response, highlighting its potential role in cellular adaptation ...

These cells coordinate bodily functions and movement quickly, often without intentional thought. They also can be affected differently by health conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider if you ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is commonly known to be responsible for protein trafficking and secretion. In ...

Mitoribosomes are present in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells. Their function is to allow the translation of mitochondrial mRNA that exclusively encodes components of the oxidative ...

In flies defective for axonal transport of mitochondria, the authors report the upregulation of one subunit, the beta subunit, of the heterotrimeric eIF2 complex via mass spectroscopy proteome ...

Jonathan R. Brestoff is in the Department of Pathology and Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110, USA. To fill this knowledge gap, Ikeda and colleagues ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome ... copper metabolism and how cells divide their genetic material.

Biologists had long believed that bringing order and organization to the chaos of molecules inside a cell depended on membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the mitochondria.

A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a self ...
