Mitochondria Do More Than Power Cells, Scientists Say
Original: Mitochondria Are Not Powerhouses, They're Running the Entire Body
A popular science explainer argues mitochondria should not be described simply as the powerhouses of the cell, claiming they also regulate the entire body's function. The piece challenges one of biology's most familiar teaching phrases, suggesting the organelles play a far broader role in cellular signalling and overall physiology than the standard textbook summary implies.
Why now: The story overturns a well-known biology cliché, prompting people to rethink what they learned in school.
