Mitochondria in intact cells can transiently accumulate calcium during cell stimulation. The heterogeneity of the response, the extremely high calcium concentrations reached in the mitochondrial ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain can disrupt the balance of calcium ions inside and outside neurons, making them fire more readily than they should. Kubota-Sakashita had previously found ...

Inhibition of low-level endoplasmic reticulum-to-mitochondria calcium ion transfer is toxic, specifically to cancer cells. An unexpected dependency on this transfer to mitochondria exists for a ...

Researchers discover how mitochondria not only produce energy but also influence inflammation.

Fructose, the most common food sweetener, is widely used in processed sugary beverages, candies, and baked goods. Excessive ...

The British Heart Foundation’s Reflections of Research competition showcases beautiful images captured by researchers studying heart and circulatory disease ...
