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 ...

Researchers uncovered a mechanism called excitation-mitochondrial DNA transcription coupling (E-TCmito) linking neuronal activity to mitochondrial DNA transcription, crucial for maintaining brain ...

The mitochondrial genome is the full genetic complement of a mitochondrion. Mitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the total DNA of a eukaryotic cell and in most species is solely inherited ...
