Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

In an article published in the journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Alicia Kowaltowski, full professor at the University ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

Microglia are tissue-resident immune cells that support proper brain development ... protein complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane that create energy, or ATP, for the cell.

Instead, descriptions should focus on the specific process that has gone awry, such as calcium homeostasis, oxidative phosphorylation producing ATP, or contributions to immune signaling. “With a ...

The enzyme which makes ATP is called ATP synthase, or ATPase, and sits on the mitochondria in animal cells or chloroplasts in plant cells. Walker first determined the amino acid sequence of this ...

Mitochondria contain the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), or a series of protein complexes in which electrons pass through and produce ATP, or energy, for the cell. Mitochondrial ETC ...

Mitochondria are crucial organelles for cellular homeostasis, regulating processes such as ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) management and Ca 2+ signaling. In particular ...
