1. Significance of mitochondrial ultrastructure for bioenergetics
Abstract : Mitochondria are the site where most of the energy from food is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is taking place at the inner membrane (IM) of mitochondria, and is called oxidative phosphorylation, and results in the establishment of a proton motive force (pmf). READ MORE

2. Structural investigation of human mitochondrial translation and off-target antibiotic binding
Abstract : Human mitochondrial translation machinery has evolved to translate 13 mitochondrial mRNAs encoding components of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway responsible for ATP production. The structural basis of human mitochondrial translation is distinct from the canonical bacterial and cytosolic translation systems. READ MORE

3. Life without mitochondrial DNA : studies of transgenic mice
Abstract : Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a closed circular DNA genome that resides in the mitochondrial network. Mutations of mtDNA cause spontaneous and hereditary disorders known as mitochondrial diseases. Mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is a key factor for transcription of mtDNA in vitro.

5. The enterocyte in small intestinal adaption : an experimental and clinicopathological study with special reference to the ultrastructure of the brush border
Abstract : The small intestine mucosa is known to be able to adapt itself to several kinds of both physiological and pathological conditions. The adaptive patterns of the structure of the enterocytes, particularly their apical surface (brush border), were studied in three models: (1) in rats, subjected to antrectomy or antral exclusion, combined with gastroduodenostomy and gastrojejunostomy; (2) in rats with alloxan diabetes; (3) in children with coeliac disease; a) in its active phase; b) after long-term treatment with gluten-free diets; c) after long-term challenge with dietary gluten following treatment; d) after short-term elimination of dietary gluten.
