Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered that an oral drug called MA-5 can improve both heart and muscle problems in ...

A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing Factor ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have identified the key mitochondrial protein AIFM1 as a central coordinator of ...

Mitochondria are organelles that play an important role in the cell's life cycle as the energy generating units. State-of-the-art imaging modalities, such as electron microscopy, allow researchers to ...

Increasingly available ultrastructural data from a continuously growing diversity of experimental conditions are driving new opportunities for fruitful neuroscientific hypotheses tested in ...

I had pored over thousands of electron microscopy images from the best microscopists. Never had I heard about cristae in one mitochondrion aligning with the cristae of another mitochondrion.

The term suggests a device for scanning broccoli, but it is utter nonsense. There are scanning electron microscopes and tunnelling electron microscopes, but not vegetative electron microscopes.

Using cryo-electron microscopy, the team uncovered the structure and function of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier at the atomic scale. This carrier transports pyruvate, a byproduct of sugar ...

Known as the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, this molecular machine was first proposed to exist in 1971, but it has taken until now for scientists to visualise its structure at the atomic scale ...

This machine, known as the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, was first proposed in 1971. But only now have scientists been able to visualize it at the atomic level, using a powerful imaging technique ...
