Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van ...

The MRC scientists have now been able to visualise the structure of the MPC at the atomic scale using cryo-electron microscopy, a technique used to magnify an image of an object to around 165,000 ...

To look at the ribosome-mitochondria phenomenon more closely, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University of Virginia (UV) used cryo-electron microscopy and ...

LA JOLLA, CA—An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at Scripps Research offers a new way of studying mitochondria, which are best known as the “powerhouses” of cells. In their ...

Mitochondrial electron transfer for oxidative ATP regeneration is linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in aerobic eukaryotic cells. Because they can contribute to signaling as well as ...

I T IS HARD to overstate the importance of sleep. Regular hours of rest offer organisms of all sizes a chance to consolidate ...

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers.

Colored scanning electron micrograph of a mitochondrion in a nerve cell. Mitochondria are a type of organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.

Electron microscopy allows us to visualize exactly how these drugs bind inside the carrier to jam it—a spanner in the works, you could say.

While the team knew that the metabolic state of tumor cells dictated their enhanced growth properties, this new finding shows that relatively simple manipulations to mitochondrial electron ...
