Optimal energy production is required for oocyte and embryo development, and
mitochondrial abnormalities have devastating reproductive consequences. Improvement of …

Mitochondrial remodeling during the peri-implantation stage is the hallmark event essential
for normal embryogenesis. Among the changes, enhanced oxidative phosphorylation is …

The analogy of mitochondria as powerhouses has expired. Mitochondria are living, dynamic,
maternally inherited, energy-transforming, biosynthetic, and signaling organelles that …

Mitochondria play a vital role in embryo development. They are the principal site of energy
production and have various other critical cellular functions. Despite the importance of this …

Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles that exhibit fluidity. They are the main site
of cellular aerobic respiration, providing energy for cell proliferation, migration, and survival; …

Mitochondria have been implicated as key factors regulating female reproductive processes.
Notable progress has been made in determining the role of mitochondria with respect to …

The ultrastructure of the cardiac myocyte is remarkable for the high density of mitochondria
tightly packed between sarcomeres. This structural organization is designed to provide …

Mitochondria play central roles in energy homeostasis, metabolism, signaling, and
apoptosis. Accordingly, the abundance, morphology, and functional properties of …

Stem cells are traditionally classified as being either embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or somatic
stem cells. Such a designation has now become blurred by the advent of ostensibly …

Mitochondria are subcellular organelles evolved by endosymbiosis of bacteria with
eukaryotic cells characteristics. They are the main source of ATP in the cell and play a …
