Despite having their own genomes, mitochondria don’t make many of their own proteins; most are synthesized in the cytosol by cellular equipment encoded in the nucleus. Thus, the interactions of ...

“You start to realize that actually, to get from the mitochondria into the nucleus and damage the DNA, you have to pass a lot of stuff,” he said, adding that because of ROS’s reactivity, it would ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

In humans and other multicellular organisms, cells multiply. This defining feature allows embryos to grow into adulthood, and enables the healing of the many bumps, bruises and scrapes along the way.

Nuclei house most of a cell’s genetic information – much of it in the form of DNA – making a nucleus a sort of blueprint for building future cells. Mitochondria are the power plants of a cell. They ...

"Our results demonstrate that the mitochondria can send signals to the nucleus and change the fate of the cell." The researchers also confirmed their findings in human pancreatic islet cells.

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

Mitochondria are the cellular powerhouses responsible for breaking down the carbohydrates and fatty acids in food to produce molecules called ATP, which the body then uses as energy. In people ...

Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism and controls the cell’s activities. The cell ...
