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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a dual regulatory mechanism safeguarding ...

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.

producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) primarily via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). But in the mammalian brain, aging comes with mitochondrial metabolism deterioration, which affects the ...

For the average person, living at high altitude—where oxygen is sparser than at sea level—can have health benefits ranging ...

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