Researchers mapped late steps in the formation of the human respirasome, a large protein assembly that drives mitochondrial ...

A new study in Nature Communications shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built.

Scientists uncovered how the amino acid leucine enhances mitochondrial efficiency by preserving crucial proteins that drive energy production. By downregulating the protein SEL1L, leucine prevents ...

Mitochondria are the body's "energy factories," and their proper function is essential for life. Inside mitochondria, a set of complexes called the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) system acts like ...

(Philadelphia, PA) – Calcium transport into and out of mitochondria – the powerhouses of cells – is central to cellular energy production and cell death. To maintain the balance of calcium within ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern have uncovered the mechanism by which obesity triggers inflammation, leading to conditions ...

A research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A new study shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built. Researchers at Karolinska ...
