Over this time, the mitochondrial genome became reduced, retaining only 37 genes in most animal species, and growing reliant on the nuclear genome to fulfill the organelle’s primary function—to ...

researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and reductive synthesis of ...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by inflammation and necrosis of the pancreatic acinar cells. Mitochondrial homeostasis is key to energy metabolism and redox ...

“We’re using vague terms like mitochondrial dysfunction, and it’s not clear what that means,” said Murphy. Instead, descriptions should focus on the specific process that has gone awry, such as ...
