Often called the "energy currency" of cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced in mitochondria by oxidative phosphorylation, a process of energy transfer driven by electron and proton ...

Research at the Centro Nacional de Investigadores Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has identified the mechanism of competition between distinct mitochondrial genomes coexisting in the same cell. The study ...

Scientists have discovered that the mechanism that mitochondria use to defend mammalian cells against protein-damaging stress also exists in plants.

Since the blood cell production primarily occurs in the fetal liver, the team analyzed these fetal liver cells and found that mitochondrial OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) complex formation was ...

Investigations in Japan have uncovered some molecular mechanisms behind mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic heart failure.

Harrington’s study, “Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Regulates the Fate Decision between Pathogenic Th17 and Regulatory T Cells,” was recently published in the journal Cell Reports. Harrington ...

By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD. New research reveals how mitochondria adapt to nutrient scarcity, offering insights into cancer cell survival mechanisms. Study: Cellular ATP demand creates ...

Mitochondria are important cellular organelles that act as the cellular ‘power house’. Mitochondria generate ATP as a source of energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation ...

Rather than finding that mitochondria matured with cell differentiation, as was anticipated, the researchers uncovered a mechanism by which the stem cells converted from glucose fermentation to ...
