Two import pathways that direct proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix have been known for many years. The identification of numerous new transport components in recent ...

Moreover, the versatility of mitochondrial translocases has been emphasized, with research identifying at least three distinct mechanisms for protein transport across mitochondrial membranes.

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...

The study shows that mitochondria do more than provide energy; they play an active role in modulating the immune response.

They used genetic modification to suppress the production of milton, a key protein in the transport of mitochondria along axons. It was found that this led to abnormal levels of protein building ...

The study results, published June 5 in The EMBO Journal, shed new light, researchers say, on the way the altered mitochondrial membranes found in people with metabolic diseases such as Barth ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is actively removed during spermatogenesis in a conserved process that enforces the uniparental ...

There are several mechanisms involved. The newly reported research has uncovered one mechanism, which they found is controlled by the mitochondrial protein MCJ. The researchers first identified ...

The mechanism now identified is controlled by the protein called MCJ, present in mitochondria (the organelles of the cell where energy is produced). Sabio and Folgueira have discovered that ...
