Overview

Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and are the main sites of energy production in the cell. These organelles are the powerhouse of the cell because they are responsible for generating the majority of the cell’s energy in the form of ATP. They are also involved in a variety of other cellular processes, such as cell signaling, calcium storage, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Mitochondria play a critical role in numerous diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the function and regulation of mitochondria is essential to many areas of research, including drug discovery and the development of treatments for these diseases.
