Summary. Like all living organisms, plants use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)as their genetic material. The DNA in plant cells is found in the nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. The latter two organelles are descendants of bacteria that were captured by a eukaryotic cell and have become...
he continued his work on archaic DNA. He decided to analyze DNA from Neanderthal mitochondria—organelles in cells that contain their own DNA. Themitochondrial genomeis small and contains only a fraction of the genetic information in the cell, but it is present in thousands of copies...
Outer membrane vesicles from Neisseria gonorrhoeae target PorB to mitochondria and induce apoptosis PLoS Pathog, 14 (2018), p. e1006945 CrossrefView in ScopusGoogle Scholar 144 W. Zhu, J. Tomberg, K.J. Knilans, J.E. Anderson, K.P. McKinnon, G.D. Sempowski, R.A. Nicholas, J.A....
In recent years, molecular investigations using high-throughput omics technologies have increased significantly. However, relatively few have examined the molecular alterations in individual regions of the human brain networks involved in psychiatric disorders. Images of brain metabolism and gene expression st...
To shed light on the origins of Indigenous Americans, scientists examined DNA from mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria possess their own genes, which are passed down from the mother. The researchers analyzed more than 100,000 contemporary and 15,000 a...
His Main Area of Work:His research is mainly focussed on the mitochondrion, the “powerhouse of the cell”, and its role in human diseases. He has been using genomics and systems biology to define the “molecular anatomy” of mitochondria. With this molecular map in hand, he is ...
[O2]) levels, lower than those in the cytosol, are now demonstrable through recently developed fluorescence lifetime microscopy probes. We propose that the perinuclear arrangement of mitochondria creates a barrier to oxygen reaching the nuclear core, thereby potentially affecting cellular functions and ...
