The parasitic plant manages to go without a component of mitochondria found in all other multicellular life forms.

A transgenic approach allows researchers to collect the organelles from specific cells in nematodes with unprecedented efficiency.

Adding a fusion gene to certain mitochondria in C. elegans enables researchers to collect and analyze them.

Contrary to some hypotheses, the organelles did not descend from any known lineage of Alphaproteobacteria, researchers find.

Experiments in mice show that mitochondria, both within the tumor and beyond, can make the difference between promoting or inhibiting cancer spread.

Mitochondria may sustain temperatures more than 10 °C warmer than human cells, say researchers. 

Researchers are looking at actin polymerization and calcium uptake in human cells to study mitochondrial division.

Maintaining dynamic connections among the body’s mitochondria is required for the health and life-extending benefits of low-calorie diets for nematodes.

Mitochondria age differently depending upon whether they’re located in the liver, heart, or kidney, scientists find in flies and mice.
