In this study, researcher developed a new imaging approach that combines two powerful techniques to solve this problem. First, a special type of microscope called a two-photon microscope is used, ...

Scientists are increasingly convinced that the tiny power plants inside our cells are a major lever in how many calories we burn, even at rest. New work on “boosting” these mitochondria suggests it ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." YOU MIGHT KNOW them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these ...

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 ...

Research led by Shannon Farris, an assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, found a mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons, like those highlighted ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...
