Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have made a major discovery in how human cells produce energy. Their study, published in The EMBO Journal, reveals ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped key steps in the assembly of the mitochondrial ribosome, offering new clues to how defects in this ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that healthy yet sedentary individuals show a significant, coordinated drop in muscle mitochondrial function that may precede the ...

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 cell's ...

Pathogenic mutations within the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) are known to cause a range of rare inherited diseases, collectively referred to as mitochondrial diseases 1,2. Additionally, mtDNA variants ...

As we age, the genes in our cells accumulate more mutations. This is one of the contributory factors to age-related diseases and the aging process. However, in a new study published in Science ...
