The pig’s heart was graying rapidly, so McCully decided to try it. He loaded a syringe with the extracted mitochondria and ...

Long before I got my first glimpse of mitochondria, I had boned up on the basics of their structure and biology. We inherit our mitochondria from our mother—from the egg cell, to be precise.

The tiny structure's role is somewhat counterintuitive. ... Citation: Study reveals starring role for shape-shifting mitochondria in stem cell function (2022, ...

With a new method, researchers have captured a high-resolution metabolic “map” of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

It also highlights the role of key regulatory proteins such as Opa1 in maintaining this structure, which appears to be compromised in dominant optic atrophy. Reference: Meschede IP, Ovenden NC, Seabra ...

Mitochondria often form extended connected networks in human cells, and these mitochondria fragment into numerous small entities that lose their connection to microtubules during cell division 2, 3.
