This partial figure from the paper illustrates the steps taken to compare the mitochondria of young and old mice. First, thin tissue slices were imaged with an advanced imaging method called serial ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, are involved in several critical functions including cell division and preserving responses to various types of stress. Studying the details of the mitochondria ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now gained ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria—the parts of muscle cells that produce energy.

Advance offers a new way of investigating diseases -- including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and different cancers -- where mitochondria are disrupted. An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria – the parts of muscle cells that produce ...

Eight weeks of HIIT increases both the number and efficiency of muscle mitochondria by expanding their energy-producing inner membranes.
