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 ...

New genomic studies show that hydrogenosomes, hydrogen‑producing organelles in some anaerobic eukaryotes, have evolved multiple times from mitochondria through gene transfer and loss. Research on ...

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 ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...

A novel method for directing mitochondria to specific cells could reshape how scientists approach diseases driven by cellular dysfunction.

During bacterial infection, mitochondrial splitting helps activate host defenses. Researchers pinpointed an enzyme behind ...

Beyond their role as the cell’s powerhouses, mitochondria are dynamic signaling hubs that influence immunity, stress responses, and even genetic regulation. The citric acid cycle not only fuels ATP ...
