New research shows that cells in high-energy-demanding tissues respond to mitochondrial dysfunction through a sophisticated ...

Mitochondria are specialized structures within cells that are primarily responsible for energy production but that also play ...

The manipulation of mitochondrial structure appears to be a novel viral immune evasion strategy that allows the virus to complete its late-stage assembly and exit from the cell nucleus.

In a surprising twist on plant genetics, researchers have identified a mitochondrial protein that directly regulates wood ...

New research shows mitochondria in neurons track energy stress to trigger sleep, revealing potential 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 ...

Textbooks say that mitochondria exist to supply cells with energy, but experiments in fruit flies suggest they are also involved in sleep ...
