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 ...

Mitochondria arose through a fateful endosymbiosis more than 1.45 billion years ago. Many mitochondria make ATP without the help of oxygen. Aa Aa Aa What variety is there in mitochondria ...

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 ...

Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria. However, surprisingly ...

To specifically study the location-dependent effect of hydrogen peroxide release, they used D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), which produces this ROS upon addition of D-alanine. 2 The team fused DAAO to ...

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 ...

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 ...
