UT Health is interested in a comprehensive understanding of mitochondrial function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and animal levels. Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy and also regulate apoptosis, signal transduction and cell growth. Mitochondrial defects have been reported in a wide range of conditions, such as diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and aging.
