Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...

Researchers introduced a yeast enzyme, ScURA, into human cells, enabling nucleotide synthesis independent of mitochondrial ...

Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...
