Here is how plants defend against mutational damage
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Plant mitochondria and chloroplasts are essential to human survival. These vital plant cell compartments are well-known for capturing sunlight and powering plant life, ultimately providing all of the food we eat. But there's a catch: Mitochondria and chloroplasts keep instructions for the

Study reveals mature sperm lack intact mitochondrial DNA
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
New research sheds light on the fundamental scientific premise that mitochondrial DNA — the particular genetic code stored in the organelle that serves as the powerplant for every cell in the body — is exclusively passed down by the mother.

Study provides insight into regulation of apicoplast gene expression in ma
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A recent study discovered that gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signalling hormone) in host blood and intrinsic parasite cues via a factor called ApSigma. The regulatory system highligh

Overactive cell metabolism linked to biological ageing: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking.

Overactive cell metabolism is associated with biological ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Why do cells, and thus people, age? The solution could be related to mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy to cells. Though this is not a new thing, direct evidence in human cells had previously been lacking, until now.

Study finds new cellular component important for sense of smell
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
In the neurons that our noses utilise to detect smell, scientists at Umea University in Sweden have found a previously unidentified cellular component called an organelle. The discovery may spur more studies into the COVID-19 symptom of poor smell perception.

Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers at Umea University in Sweden have discovered a previously unknown cellular component, an organelle, inside neurons that we use to perceive smell. The discovery could lead to more research into impaired sense of smell, which is a common symptom of COVID-19.
