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 ...

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are associated with a variety of pathologies, and the onset and progression of disease are accompanied by alterations in extracellular biochemical and mechanical signals.

Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
