Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

The study shows that mitochondria do more than provide energy; they play an active role in modulating the immune response.

Mitochondria contain the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), or a series of protein complexes in which electrons pass through and produce ATP, or energy, for the cell. Mitochondrial ETC ...

These are mitochondria of several distantly related unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that lack an electron transport chain altogether. They synthesize ATP from pyruvate breakdown via simple ...

At the inner mitochondrial membrane, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released pumps hydrogen out of the matrix space. The gradient created by this ...

We used chemicals to induce mitochondrial toxicity ... of the cell because it houses this machinery called the electron transport chain. There’s literally hundreds of different genes that ...
