Mitochondria may hold key to curing diabetes: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Mitochondria are responsible for creating energy, which fuels cells and keeps them functioning. However, mitochondrial abnormalities have been linked to the development of disorders like type 2 diabetes. Patients with this illness are unable to produce enough insulin or use the insulin produ

Researchers observes what exactly happens at beginning of possible endosy
Updated : 1 year, 5 months ago IST
Endosymbiosis is a remarkable biological phenomenon in which one creature resides within another. Such an unconventional partnership is usually advantageous to both parties. Even in human bodies, we find evidence of such cohabitation: mitochondria, the cells' powerhouses, originated from an

Study reveals how antioxidant glutathione keeps mitochondria healthy
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
If a package is left on your front step without notifying you, you may not notice it. A hungry cell waiting for refuelling is in a similar situation. A detecting mechanism must notify it to the presence of nutrients outside of the cell wall so that a transporter protein may deliver the food
