Cancer cells transfer mitochondria through nanotubes to healthy neighboring cells, turning them into tumor-supporting accomplices, a new study shows.

Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria provide 90% of our ...

Remember mitochondria? Those little "powerhouses" of the cell that many of us learned about in high school biology? It turns ...

French and Canadian scientists reactivate mitochondria energy in neurons and successfully restore memory in mice with ...

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 ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

The discovery of a defensive mechanism could help stop cancer before it spreads. Cancer cells rapidly increase their energy output when physically squeezed, according to a study in Nature ...

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? Mitochondria ...

Neutrophils (yellow) eject a NET (green) to ensnare bacteria (purple). Other cells, such as red blood cells (orange), may also get trapped. CHDENK/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Research from my ...

Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms." Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...
