Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

Because metformin requires a transporter to access the interior of cells—where mitochondria live—it affects only a handful of cell types, mostly in the gut, liver and kidney.

Before the explosive popularity of GLP-1 weight loss drugs, another "wonder drug," metformin, has been at work lowering blood sugar levels for patients with Type 2 diabetes for decades, but ...

During the rush, a protein called Parkin hurries to protect the mitochondria, the power stations that generate energy for the cell. Now Salk researchers have discovered a direct link between a ...

Because mitochondria have a large surface area, the signal is amplified, explained Winklhofer. The study authors noted that mitochondria also carry signaling components that can help form complexes ...

O rganelle health is vital to a cell’s function. Consequently, cells have many mechanisms to repair or eliminate defective organelles. Åsa Gustafsson, a cellular and molecular biologist at the ...
