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 ...

Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to function properly. Their dysfunction has been tied to metabolic disorders, ...

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 ...

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.

What we’re discovering is that mitochondrial support is not just about talents energy substrates, it’s also about keeping these vital organelles safe from the onslaught of environmental stressors we ...

The study, published in the prestigious journal EMBO Journal, reveals why some tumors escape the immune system, and offers a ...

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 ...

These mitochondria retain common features with ... that possessed the signature structures of eukaryotes, including the nucleus, and was capable of phagocytosis (Figure 2a). The alternative ...
