Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Researchers outline why organs from older donors are often discarded and identify the biological and immunological pathways ...

Newly published CU Boulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function A key takeaway from first-year biology is that mitochondria ...

Maintaining long-term health has become a major challenge, driving research into ways to extend “healthspan” rather than lifespan alone. In a recent study, researchers from Japan investigated COX7RP, ...

Mitochondria power eukaryotic cells to carry out their varied functions. However, these organelles themselves may also be more than they appear, providing scientists with continuous questions to ...

It’s one of the basic tenets of biology: We get our DNA from our mom and our dad. But one notable exception has perplexed scientists for decades: Most animals, including humans, inherit the DNA inside ...

In a popular Indian parable, a few blind men interact with an elephant for the first time and imagine what it looks like. The man touching the tusk may describe the elephant as a spear, while the ...
