Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...

Mitochondria structure. Illustrated by Jason Hoffman. Mitochondria are small, often between 0.5 and 3 micrometers, and are not visible under a microscope unless they are stained.

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP—the ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks our cellular power plants known as mitochondria. A new study hypothesizes that could potentially explain long Covid.

Studying the details of the mitochondria structure has been limited. Now, scientists at Scripps Research report an advanced imaging-based method that offers a new way of studying mitochondria.

LA JOLLA, CA—An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at Scripps Research offers a new way of studying mitochondria, which are best known as the “powerhouses” of cells. In their ...
