the team knocked down each candidate gene individually and visualized changes in the mitochondria-actin interaction using a GFP-labeled probe. “It turned out all eight candidates showed an effect and ...

Mitochondria in the same cells were tagged with a GFP construct in which residues 1–52 of citrate synthase (a mitochondrial enzyme) were fused to the amino terminus of GFP (middle panel).

This is especially challenging for organelles like mitochondria. To address this, the researchers present, for the first time, a technique for targeted protein degradation within the mitochondria ...

Most of us remember two things from high school biology: that mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and that we inherit stable sets of chromosomes from our two parents. Both truisms are only ...
