Mitochondria located in the axon, a neuron’s output structure, are discrete organelles that are either stationary or motile. 2 In contrast, mitochondria are jammed together and often overlap in ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century ...

The first atlas of mitochondria in the brain could help scientists develop brain scans that determine the health of a patient’s mitochondria and if they are contributing to disease.

Due to their similarities to bacteria, mitochondria can actually trigger severe illness in humans. How can organelles inside our bodies suddenly become a threat? What evidence did Margulis use to ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers have identified a molecule that helps ...

advocates the "rewriting" of textbooks on the location of the electron transport chain in mitochondria and the role of sodium in mitochondrial respiration. Kowaltowski is a member of the Research ...

Proteins demonstrating a mitochondrial association (Y), may have a mitochondrial location if overexpressed, or as a result of cellular stress (Y †), indicated in the second column. Interaction ...
