The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

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 ...

Normal metabolic activity produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, if not eliminated, can damage cellular components. As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms." Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...
