"Longevity science" is on the come up—and "mitochondria" appears to be its newest mascot. The cell's energy-producing center is the talk of TikTok, wellness clinics and newsletters focused on ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...

The powerhouse of the cell may be a key to longevity.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major obstacle that limits effective cancer treatments. Various cells around the tumor promote immunosuppression and prevent the immune system from targeting ...

Mitochondria are well known as energy suppliers, and powerhouses of cells, but they have other crucial functions as well. One of those functions is outcompeting pathogens for resources, according to ...

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 ...

Schematic of organelle extraction and injection using FluidFM. (A) Extraction volumes are tuned by applying negative pressure (−Δp). Probe prefilling with octadecafluorooctane allows for optical and ...
