About 100,000 mitochondria are estimated to be present in the mouse oocyte at the time of fertilization, with one copy of the genome per mitochondria. There are about 1,000 mitochondria in each ...

Columbia scientists mapped brain mitochondria for the first time, revealing how energy shapes memory, mood, and mental health ...

“These differences are remarkable since all mitochondria originate from the same “mother” pool of mitochondria in the oocyte,” says Anna Monzel, a computational research scientist who was involved ...

“But this is exactly the kind of data we need more of in the future to clarify the way forward for [MRT].” One form of MRT is the transfer of a nucleus from the mother’s oocyte into a donor, ...
