This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Mitochondria are more than just the cell’s power plants—they’re multitasking life machines with a fascinating past and surprising capabilities. From their bacterial origins to their role in immunity, ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell's life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and ...

A novel method for directing mitochondria to specific cells could reshape how scientists approach diseases driven by cellular dysfunction.

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) show that active mitochondria ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to cell death is secretly driving the aging of blood stem cells in a ...
