The Molecular Machinery That Delivers Metabolites to Mitochondria
When we eat and then digest a meal, the nutrients and other useful components in the food are broken down—or metabolized—and ultimately make their way to cells throughout the body. Each cell has its own power plant, called the mitochondria, which produces energy for the cell’s various processes as well as other tasks that help keep...
