Introduction
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine. This Research in Context feature looks at how insights about these cellular powerhouses might lead to new ways of preventing and treating disease.
