Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

The researchers want to determine how the numbers, sizes, and structures of the mitochondria might link to the abilities of the cells, and by extension, the placenta as a whole, to function properly.

We use microscopes to look at very small things. The microscope magnifies the image so that it appears larger than it would with just our eyes. The magnification of a lens on a microscope is shown ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

and the bioenergetic role of mitochondrial energy-converting complexes in human mitochondrial disorders. To study these macromolecular machines, we combine biochemical and structural biology methods, ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope, and on the right with the transmission electron microscope. Cytoplasm Where enzymes and ...
