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

A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...

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 ...

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

The enzyme which makes ATP is called ATP synthase, or ATPase, and sits on the mitochondria in animal cells or chloroplasts ... that this enzyme promoted ion transport through membranes, giving an ...

"Mitochondrial dysfunction is not sufficient to give you an aged phenotype, this is probably one of the more surprising but interesting findings of the study," Chandel said. Next, the ...

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

Their main job is to produce ATP (adenosine ... of the father's mitochondrial DNA led to serious issues. Here's where it gets fascinating. The researchers discovered that giving the worms a ...

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 ...

Red light therapy involves shining specific wavelengths of light on the skin and cells. It is thought to help the production of mitochondria and give the ...
