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

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell ...

Researchers have discovered a key molecular process that may contribute to chronic inflammation as we age. If this process ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A key switch for cellular energy balance has been discovered in cells: it could potentially become the target of new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microplastics present in household dust and water damage mitochondria, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of disease.
