After THC bound to the sperm’s cannabinoid receptors, they found, it proceeded to damage the mitochondria inside the cell. Known as the cell’s engine, the mitochondria propels the sperm toward ...

Their findings reveal that mutated cells have mitochondria that produce energy at double the capacity of normal cells. These enhanced mitochondria give the mutated stem cells a significant growth ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

The mutated stem cells also contained turbocharged mitochondria, which gave the cells a strong competitive growth advantage. "This was really unexpected," Trowbridge said. "This gene was not ...

inherit the DNA inside their mitochondria -;the cell's energy centers – from their mothers alone, with all traces of their father's mitochondrial genome destroyed the moment sperm joins egg.
