Mitochondria, the power stations of human cells, provide energy for cellular metabolism. But how these evolved, and how are they constructed, has long been the subject of scientific curiosity.

Mitochondria are double membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for aerobic respiration, producing energy for the cell, which they achieve through ...

Loss of a key molecule complex may be the cause of many mitochondrial DNA disorders. The mitochondria, often labeled the powerhouse of the cell, are the organelle responsible for energy production ...

A recent study explains an essential component for proper mitochondrial function: The protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other. Researchers have uncovered an important ...

In obese individuals, endurance exercise improves fitness and increases the number of mitochondria and cellular respiration in skeletal muscles. However, the intervention has no effect on cellular ...
