There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

Mitochondria are well known as energy suppliers, and powerhouses of cells, but they have other crucial functions as well. One of those functions is outcompeting pathogens for resources, according to ...

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 ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a particular part of the cell where that role is needed. One of the ways that ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s warning about mitochondria slipped in between the anti-vaccine junk science and the excoriation of pharmaceutical drugs as “the No. 3 ...

A team of international researchers led by Karolinska Institutet has revealed in unprecedented detail how tetracycline antibiotics impair T cell function by binding mitochondrial ribosomes and ...
