Mitochondria sit at the heart of this interaction. Their ability to sense, respond to and even shape the metabolic environment of a cell gives them a critical role in determining how and when ...

Maps generated from MRI alone closely matched those derived from direct biochemical analysis. In essence, the team had built a tool to estimate mitochondrial activity from noninvasive imaging.

Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer in the tumour microenvironment. Nature, 2025; 638 (8049): 225 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08439-0 ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Retrograde mitochondrial signaling governs the identity and maturity of metabolic tissues. Science, 2025; DOI: 10.1126/science.adf2034 ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their spread, a discovery that could lead to new treatments ...

Mitochondria are best known for producing usable energy for cells. But they also send molecular signals that help to keep the body in equilibrium and manage its immune and stress responses. Some ...

How mitochondria are getting around is largely settled, but what’s less clear is why. Researchers are learning that the process is often a form of cellular damage control, says Clair Crewe, a ...
