Scientists Just Discovered the Hidden Trick That Keeps Your Cells Alive

A strange bead-like motion inside cells may be the secret to keeping their DNA—and health—in balance. Mitochondria are often described as the power plants of the cell because they produce the energy cells need to survive. To support this role, they carry their own small set of genetic instructions called mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Inside each [...]

How do mitochondria keep your cells alive?

What happened Coverage points to a cellular “bead like” motion inside cells as a potential trick for keeping DNA—and overall cellular balance—intact. The mitochondria are described as the cell’s energy source, and the implication is that the internal dynamics of mitochondria (and possibly how they…
