This partial figure from the paper illustrates the steps taken to compare the mitochondria of young and old mice. First, thin tissue slices were imaged with an advanced imaging method called serial ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Organ transplants are a familiar idea. Organelle transplants, less so. Yet organelles are to cells what organs are to bodies—specialised components that divvy up the labour needed to keep the whole ...
