A unique insight into the inner workings of our cellular power plants

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University have visualized in unprecedented detail the machinery that the cells’ powerhouses, the mitochondria, use to form their proteins. The results, published in Nature, raise hopes for more specific antibiotics and new cancer drugs in the future. The mitochondria are the cells’ powerhouses that convert energy locked...
