A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing ...

Evidence also suggests that defects in mitochondria directly contribute to symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and could be both a cause and an effect of type 2 diabetes.

Electron microscopy allows us to visualise exactly how these drugs bind inside the carrier to jam it—a spanner in the works, you could say.

Breakthroughs in microscopy are illuminating organelle interactions, providing critical insights into cellular processes and ...

Mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell," are responsible for energy production and are vital for neuronal health. In Alzheimer's disease, impaired mitochondrial function ...

More than half of people with mitochondrial disease can be diagnosed via genomic sequencing, a finding that will revolutionise care for families, according to a new study. And the Melbourne ...

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 ...

As the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria lie at the intersection of many essential biochemical pathways. When they go awry, neurodegenerative diseases can result.
