Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests our cells are also quietly harvesting mechanical motion and turning it into ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and cell function without genetic modification. (Nanowerk News) Biomedical ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered a way ovarian tumors cripple immune cells: by tampering with their ability to process energy. This insight could pave the way for new immunotherapies ...
