With videos of dramatic cancer cell deaths and unflagging T cell attacks, Alex Ritter studies how immune cells and tumors battle with microscopic precision.

Armed with beautiful microscope images and new translational assays, Dylan Burnette hopes to discover novel and affordable treatments for heart disease.

Mitochondria fragment and fuse to meet the energetic needs of the cell. Research shows that poorly regulated mitochondrial dynamics contribute to conditions such as autism.

Mitochondria aren’t just the bean-shaped powerhouses of the cell. They are dynamic organelles that modify their structures to match their functions. Now, new research shows that mitochondrial morphology correlates not only with function, but also with symptom severity in autism.

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that change their morphology in response to the energetic needs of the cell. But in some disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, mitochondria don't appropriately respond, and the resulting metabolic dysfunction contributes to symptom severity.
