Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in.

Researchers found photoreceptor cells can recover from apoptosis if stress signals are removed. Functional mitochondria and mitophagy helped restore cell health, suggesting potential strategies 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 ...

Every cell in your body is a small, busy city. It has boundaries, communication networks, recycling systems and manufacturing centers. But every city needs power. Without energy, nothing moves, ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research publishing December 18 in the Cell Press journal ...

Mitochondrial transplantation is an emerging technique aimed at restoring cellular energy production in diseases marked by ...
