Mapping the density, molecular features and energy-transformation capacity of cell organelles called mitochondria in the brain reveals region- and cell-type-specific variability that tracks with ...

Hundreds of cubes of human brain tissue help scientists to chart the energy-making capabilities of various brain regions.

Sometime around 2 billion years ago, a bacterium slipped inside a larger cell, started producing energy there, and became the indispensable powerhouse we know today as the mitochondrion, so the ...

In May 2008 a cross-party attempt to ban hybrid human animal embryos was defeated on a free vote in the House of Commons, by 336 to 176. MPs had been debating the Human Fertilisation and ...

Organisms made of more than once cell are described as multicellular. Examples of multicellular organisms include animals and most species of plants. The following diagram shows the variety of ...

Microglia are the immune system's front-line enforcers in the brain. They are cells that patrol the brain and destroy anything harmful that they encounter, from invading bacteria to cellular debris.

Researchers have found cold-water acclimation affects cellular function, upregulating protective mechanisms that could ...

The first atlas of mitochondria in the brain could help scientists develop brain scans that determine the health of a patient’s mitochondria and if they are contributing to disease.

Mitochondria are cell organelles with important functions in cell metabolism, signalling and energy conversion. Proper organisation and folding of mitochondrial membranes are vital for organelle ...
