Dec. 20 (UPI) --Scientists knew mitochondrial division is present across different species, but researchers weren't sure how exactly mitochondrial division is conserved -- or even whether it divides ...

A key molecular step required for the division of damaged mitochondria—essential for cell health—has been identified by a University of Bristol-led study. The finding has the potential to establish ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

People often refer to mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells, but they are also involved in cell signaling and death.

Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial MIM complex influences lipid droplet accumulation in yeast cells through ...
