In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

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

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

weakening tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), the immune cells that attack tumors. Mitochondria, also known as the ‘powerhouse of the cell,’ are small organelles that produce energy for various ...

To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the transfer of mitochondria between cells, 31 researchers have developed consensus recommendations for common terminology that describes ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

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 ...

The researchers who made the discovery propose that the independent mitochondria may be released by cells for signaling purposes, although more work is needed to validate that hypothesis. “It’s very ...

Targeting mitochondrial retrograde signaling may therefore be promising in the treatment or prevention of metabolic disorders.

However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor treatment responses. Now, researchers have identified the transfer of mitochondria with mutated DNA from cancer ...

Cancer cells cripple immune cells by donating their damaged mitochondria, hindering the immune response and fostering tumour ...
