This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Scientists discovered the unique molecular structure, which could have implications in age-related diseases like neurodegeneration. Often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell," mitochondria are ...

Traditionally referred to as the powerhouses of cells, mitochondria play a vital role in the conversion of food into energy for biological processes in cell biology. However, in recent years, a ...

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 ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Scientists have developed a novel tool that can boost energy production in brain cells and reverse memory loss in mouse models of dementia. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

By boosting the activity of cellular 'power stations' in the brains of mice with a dementia-like condition, an international team of researchers has reversed pathological memory loss.
