(A) Electron micrograph of a human cell section showing three mitochondria. (B) Scheme of the protein complexes that form the ETS, showing the mitochondrial membranes in blue and red; NADH ...

An electron micrograph therefore provides an excellent ... molecules and smaller cells — and scientists believe that mitochondria and chloroplasts arose as a result of this process.

The researchers want to determine how the numbers, sizes, and structures of the mitochondria might link to the abilities of the cells, and by extension, the placenta as a whole, to function properly.

Electron microscopy (EM) allowed us to look at the mitochondria and EV on an ultrastructural level, which is not possible with fluorescence microscopy. Using EM, we were able to assess the vesicle’s ...

The Salk Institute study, published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, is an exciting step forward in understanding how ...

Kunji added, “Drugs inhibiting the function of the carrier can remodel how mitochondria work, which can be beneficial in certain conditions. Electron microscopy allows us to visualise exactly ...
