A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

I’m grateful for the warnings threaded through Stephanie Pappas’s “The Truth about Testosterone” and would like to elaborate from personal experience. As a transgender man, I adore the effects of ...

Chaperone proteins have become exciting new targets in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases due to their pro-survival functions. The most abundant, constitutively expressed chaperone in the heart, ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

New research challenges traditional views on ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential, revealing that oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondrial cristae and that sodium plays a ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation ...

Synopsis Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m) is the main driving force for ATP synthesis at the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane, the cristae. Measurement of ΔΨ m in individual cristae ...

Researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) report that mitochondria depend on a newly discovered recycling mechanism. Their research demonstrates mitochondria can recycle a localized ...

A 3D reconstruction showing the inner mitochondrial membrane (red) herniating into a closely associated lysosome (green). The outer mitochondrial membrane is shown in blue and the nucleus is shown in ...

A significant research paper published in the journal Cell Metabolism by the team of Prof. LIU Qiang at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) reveals the critical role of glutamate ...

Summary: A new study identifies a crucial factor in brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease—the accumulation of Glu-5’tsRNA-CTC in neuron mitochondria. This small RNA fragment disrupts mitochondrial ...
