New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

Mitochondria age differently depending upon whether they’re located in the liver, heart, or kidney, scientists find in flies and mice. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant ...

In this case, certain free-living bacteria live inside host bacteria and carry out a task for which the hosts are not well suited: cellular respiration. The engulfed bacteria, now called ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne found that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to early skeletal aging by disrupting cartilage metabolism. The study identified maladaptive metabolic shifts, ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Dr. Bent Brachvogel has examined how mitochondria influence the premature ...

It delivers oxygen and glucose to the tissues for respiration, which is the release of energy to cells. This video is about how arteries carry blood away from the heart. Find out more about GCSE ...
