Taskin, Shankar, Peselj, et al. demonstrate that mitochondria possess an intrinsic surveillance system that senses mild oxidative stress and activates the UPRmt before damage signals reach the cytosol...

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Schöndorf and Petrychenko et al. show that mitochondrial translation speed is coupled to OXA1L-mediated inner membrane insertion, with...

Priset Årets avhandling vid Sahlgrenska akademin tilldelas årligen framstående doktorsavhandlingar från akademins institutioner. Urvalet baseras på nomineringar som granskas av en vetenskaplig bedömni...

Register for Euromit 2026 congress : International Meeting on Mitochondrial Pathology in Angers, France (May 30–June 4). Early bird rates available until February 1, 2026.

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research? The Wredenberg group at Karolinska Institutet is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate how mitochondrial function

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed a drug candidate to treat rare but serious diseases in which disease-causing mutations compromise cellular energy production. In 2026, Profes...

With many years of research experience and carefully chosen collaboration, Maria Falkenberg and her colleagues are tackling their next major challenge: mapping what happens in the cell’s powerhouses –...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified a circular RNA in mitochondria that plays an important role in the healing of chronic wounds. The study is published in Advanced Science.

Nature - Hijacking the energy-producing organelles from immune cells seems to help tumours in mice to infiltrate lymph nodes.

Emerging evidence suggests an interplay between the molecular clock and mitochondrial dynamics in skeletal muscle. In this Forum article, we hypothesize that exercise, as a metabolic challenge, provides a powerful physiological model to investigate the clock–mitochondria axis and its regulatory role in muscle function and metabolic health in humans.

Neuronal function depends on mitochondria, but little is known about their organization across neurons. Using an electron microscopy Drosophila connectome, we uncovered quantitative rules governing th...

Claes Gustafsson, Professor of Medical Chemistry at the University of Gothenburg, has been awarded a distinguished professorship from the Swedish Research Council – a prestigious initiative that provi...

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Mitochondrial translational activators (TAs) facilitate transcript-specific translation. Using selective ribosome profiling and cryo-electron microscopy,...

Abstract. The TOP3A gene encodes two isoforms, one targeted to the nucleus and one to mitochondria. Nuclear TOP3A functions as part of the BTRR complex to

Please indicate your attendance at the MiSBIE Symposium & Reception December 12 2025 CUIMC - The Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center - 104 Haven Avenue - New York ...

It’s time for a science of health, and a good look at the science behind the healing process. It looks likely that mitochondria play a central role in our ability to heal and be resilient. – Martin Pi...

Abstract. The incorporation of ribonucleotides (rNMPs) into the nuclear genome leads to severe genomic instability, including strand breaks and short 2–5 b

Columbia University mitochondria researcher Martin Picard’s life changed in 2014 when he peered through a microscope in Douglas Wallace’s lab at the Children’s Hospital Philadelphia. He saw something ...

The special issue of Journal of Cell Science (JCS) on the “Cell Biology of Mitochondria” looks to be one of the most comprehensive open series of papers, opinions, perspectives, interviews, reviews an...

Mitochondria fulfill central functions in metabolism and energy supply. They express their own genome, which encodes key subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. However, central mechanisms u...

Summary: In light of research advances recognizing the roles mitochondria play in directing cellular processes and behaviors, we propose reframing mitochondria as the chief executive organelle of the ...
