Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

A sequence of images showing cells in transition. CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Living cells are bombarded with many kinds of incoming molecular signal that influence their behavior. Being able to measure those ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Researchers uncover how cells internalize transplanted mitochondria, paving the way for new energy-restoring therapies for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Mitochondrial transplantation is an emerging technique aimed at restoring cellular energy production in diseases marked by ...
