Using advanced cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers visualized the mitochondrial RNase Z complex, which is crucial for tRNA maturation. They captured high-resolution images showing how this ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial ribosomes ... the visualization of biological samples at very low temperatures, providing high-resolution images of cellular structures. Translation initiation: The process by ...

The researchers found that heterozygous mice (those with a moderate number of mutated mitochondria) seemed to amplify leukemia growth. Homozygous mice with a high number of mutations had the ...

Mitochondria in intact cells can transiently accumulate calcium during cell stimulation. The heterogeneity of the response, the extremely high calcium concentrations reached in the mitochondrial ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles with important functions in cell metabolism, signalling and energy conversion. Proper organisation and folding of mitochondrial membranes are vital for organelle ...
