Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are formed from an outer membrane, a highly invaginated inner membrane containing cristae, and a matrix. Mitochondria ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

We characterize Mpf1 to be an unstable protein that associates with the cytosolic face of the mitochondrial outer membrane. Furthermore, our study uncovers a unique contribution of Tom71 to the ...

The integrity of the mitochondrial outer membrane is broken by decreasing MMP, changes in MOMP and open PTP channels. Cyt c released into the cytoplasm binds to Apaf1 to form Apoptosome, which ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

Benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax are often prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia and seizures. While these drugs can be ...
