Mitochondrial biology is the study of the structure, function, and regulation of mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Understanding mitochondrial biology is crucial for advancing research in fields such as cellular energetics, disease pathology, and regenerative medicine, as mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a wide range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and cancer, making it a vital area of investigation for the scientific community.
