When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory ...

Mitochondrial biology is a field of broad interest as this organelle is critical to cellular metabolism, bioenergetics, catabolism and redox homeostasis, and cellular stress responses, and ...

How One Tiny Cellular Structure Holds the Key to Better Health & Longevity — and How You Can Harness It ...

Study findings map out a new way in which antiviral signals engage with cellular metabolism to balance defense and repair.

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

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 ...

A new study focused on the immune system's Th17 cells suggests that the shape and function of their mitochondria (the powerhouse of cells) is important in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, such ...

A new study is offering novel insights into the effects of too much salt on certain immune cells. The research reveals how salt can dampen mitochondrial functions, disrupting normal immune cell ...

Mitochondria, tiny structures present in most cells, are known for their energy-generating machinery. Now, Salk researchers have discovered a new function of mitochondria: they set off molecular ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...
