In the 1960s, scientists Margit Nass and Sylvan Nass discovered that mitochondria contain their own DNA during experiments with chicken embryos viewed under an electron microscope.

MANY people have purified DNA by a variety of methods and measured its length by electron microscopy 1–4. The DNA of bacteria and bacteriophage have been used frequently and salmon sperm and ...

Mitochondria are primitive bacteria which took to living inside other cells billions of years ago. They enable the cells they live inside to process energy more efficiently, and without them large ...

Known as the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, this molecular machine was first proposed to exist in 1971, but it has taken until now for scientists to visualise its structure at the atomic scale ...

This study showed that mitochondrial DNA also shows up in cancer cell genomes sometimes too. The work, which was reported in Nature, suggested that mitochondrial DNA might sometimes act as a kind of ...

People often refer to mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells, but they are also involved in cell signaling and death ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team of structural and molecular biologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) set out to investigate G4s — which have gained attention as ...

Treatment for mitochondrial diseases within reach Date: April 9, 2025 Source: University of Gothenburg Summary: A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious ...

To determine whether mt morphology was also altered in end-stage human HF, electron microscopy was performed on myocardial sections from ICM ... Urbano-Marquez A, Nunes V. Reduced steady-state levels ...
