A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...

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 ...

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that mitochondrial complex III generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which help ...

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 ...

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 ...

To produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate if you're nasty), electrons traverse the mitochondrial electron transport chain between the mitochondrial outer membrane and the intermembrane space.
