In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...

Cells with a high demand for energy tend to have greater numbers of mitochondria. For instance, cells in the liver, kidneys, and muscles tend to have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria take up ...

Scientists have identified a new organelle in liver cells called the mitochondria-lysosome-related organelle (MLRO). This discovery could improve our understanding of chronic liver diseases like ...

Hepatocarcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed form of liver cancer. It is an aggressive, fast growing cancer with a 5-year ...

The team subjected human liver and lung cells to these nanoplastics ... By tracking the compounds released by the cells’ mitochondria, however, the team discovered some changes taking place.

High levels of ammonia kill liver cells by damaging the mitochondria that power the cells. But this can be prevented using an existing drug due to start clinical trials, finds a new study in mice.

blocking access to pyruvate entry into mitochondria could encourage the body to use potentially dangerous fat that has been stored in liver cells. Likewise, there are certain tumor cells that rely ...

Our approach involves the transfer of whole, healthy mitochondria organelles into the cells. This process is comparable to organ transplantation—like heart, liver, or kidney transplants—but conducted ...

The amount of mitochondria found in cells depends on the particular types of cells. E.g., Liver cells can have as much as 2000. The amount can depend on the levels of energy required by the cell.
