Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

The cell’s mitochondria (in green) gather around the invader and begin to shed vesicles (green bubbles) made of mitochondrial outer membrane. Sometimes, the vesicles can form elaborate ...

Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static structure of mitochondrial membranes. As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all ...

How Mitochondria Get Their Membranes Bent Date: July 9, 2009 Source: Goethe University Frankfurt Summary: Underneath their smooth surface mitochondria harbor an elaborately folded inner membrane.

Researchers have now discovered that the inner membranes of mitochondria are not static, but constantly change their structure every few seconds in living cells. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest ...

Studying the details of the mitochondria structure has been limited. Now, scientists at Scripps Research report an advanced imaging-based method that offers a new way of studying mitochondria.

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Such contacts, called mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), are crucial for the synthesis and intracellular transport of phospholipids, as well as for intracellular Ca2+ signaling and for the ...

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called ...

Washington D.C. [USA], Feb 22 (ANI): A group of researchers has discovered that the inner membrane of mitochondria - the powerhouse of all living cells - is constantly moving rather than being static ...

When mitochondria are damaged, they stop making energy and release toxins into the cell. In a healthy person, when mitochondria are damaged, PINK1 gathers on mitochondrial membranes and signals ...

This release is available in German. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells. Underneath their smooth surface they harbor an elaborately folded inner membrane. It holds a multitude of bottleneck ...
