Indian-origin scientist couple unravels mystery in mitochondria - Cristae.

The discovery, which opens up a basic science, can impact research on Parkinson’s, diabetes and cancer.

For the first time, Arun Kumar Kondadi and Ruchika Anand working with Andreas Reichert at the Heinrich Heine University (HHU), Düsseldorf, stumbled upon the dynamic nature of Cristae, which are folds within the mitochondria that house proteins (similar to batteries), which are critical in producing energy for the body.

"In our opinion, this finding fundamentally changes the way our cellular power plants work and will probably change textbooks,” says Andreas Reichert."

Exercise makes heavy used of the ADP/ATP process. I don't understand much more.

That process happens inside the mitochondria. A good friend uses the phrase, 'making mitochondria' as the title in his running posts. Exercise stimulates mitochondria. So does ozone, btw.
