A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously documented. The discovery sheds new light on how ...

Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress.

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

Photorespiration is a cellular conversion process in which plants release carbon dioxide and consume oxygen when exposed to light. Until now, it has been considered an especially wasteful by-product ...

Scientists are trying to understand how complex life emerged on Earth about 2 billion years ago. Our microbial ancestors could be the key.

New research shows how cancer cells use a vitamin B7-dependent pathway to survive in the absence of glutamine, revealing ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and ...

One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...

A recent mouse study suggests that low-oxygen conditions, such as being at high altitudes, could cause red blood cells to absorb excess blood glucose, potentially helping to protect against diabetes.

Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can assemble into a far wider variety of molecular shapes than scientists ...
