A study led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has revealed that protons and reactive oxygen species mediate long-distance charge transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain — a fundamental process in cellular respiration in organisms. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial, given that mitochondria are the powerhouses of all cells and alterations to them are associated with numerous diseases.
At the Biointegrated Materials and Engineering Lab (a.k.a., the Fermart Lab), we believe that materials science and engineering define the boundaries of technological progress and shape the nature of societies. … Read more
