A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases.

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 ...

Nathaniel Ostle explores the research that suggests the activity of these microscopic powerhouses may have resulted in the ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

Using new super-resolution microscopes, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Pennsylvania have for the first time observed electrical charge and discharge ...

Mitochondria isolated from onions entered lung immune cells in mice and restored their energy balance, revealing an ...

A new study focused on the immune system's Th17 cells suggests that the shape and function of their mitochondria (the powerhouse of cells) is important in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, such ...

Spaceflight is no picnic for the body. Muscles atrophy, bones thin, arteries stiffen, inflammation spikes, vision deteriorates—and that’s just for starters. But a new study shows that these disparate ...
