The current study shows that cells with additional chromosomes have an altered mitochondrial structure and function. The ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in cells' powerhouses, contribute to nerve cell death linked to motor control in MS, ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...

Share on Pinterest Mitochondria structure. Illustrated by Jason Hoffman. Mitochondria are small, often between 0.5 and 3 micrometers , and are not visible under a microscope unless they are stained.

Decoding mitochondrial function in neural circuits. ... Farris's team mapped mitochondrial structure in CA2 neuron dendrites ...

The main function of mitochondria is to generate the energy needed to power a cell’s biochemical reactions in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondria have their own set of DNA referred ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

Traditionally referred to as the powerhouses of cells, mitochondria play a vital role in the conversion of food into energy for biological processes in cell biology. However, in recent years, a ...

Instead, neurons may actively modify mitochondrial properties to optimize function at specific synapses, a concept that could reshape our understanding of neural energy regulation and plasticity.
