Mitochondria assemble in a dynamic tubular network. Their morphology is governed by mitochondrial fusion and fission, which regulate most mitochondrial functions including oxidative phosphorylation.

Telomere shortening ultimately causes replicative senescence.

Northern blot, or RNA blot, is a widely used technique in molecular biology to detect and semi-quantify specific RNAs. The advantage of this method is its ability to simultaneously estimate the sizes and quantities of degraded or processed RNA products.

Outer mitochondrial membrane fusion, a vital cellular process, is mediated by mitofusins. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

Replicative senescence is triggered when telomeres reach critically short length and activate permanent DNA damage checkpoint-dependent cell cycle arrest.

Identification of Cellular Protein Targets of a Half-Sandwich Iridium (III) Complex Reveals Its Dual Mechanism of Action via Both Electrophilic and Oxidative Stresses Robin Ramos , Anthi Karaiskou, Candice Botuha, Sadek Amhaz, Michaël Trichet, Florent Dingli, Jérémy Forté, France Lam, Read more
