Mitochondria are specialized structures within cells that are primarily responsible for energy production but that also play ...

This month we have a new announcement from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative backed by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan that ...

New research shows that cells in high-energy-demanding tissues respond to mitochondrial dysfunction through a sophisticated ...

A new Oxford-led study published in Nature suggests mitochondria in neurons may control sleep by tracking oxidative stress during wakefulness. The research offers fresh insight into sleep regulation, ...

Tumor cells rob other cells' mitochondria to energize their spread. For the first time, scientists discovered such theft from neurons.

Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles found in large numbers in most cells and are necessary for life. Zeng says the Park2 mutation altered mitochondrial structure and function in dopamine ...

The data “support a critical role of mitochondria dysfunction in the dying back mechanism of the SOD1-familial ALS model,” wrote Zhu and Wang, who were not involved in the current study. Manfredi and ...

Mitochondria are best known for producing usable energy for cells. But they also send molecular signals that help to keep the body in equilibrium and manage its immune and stress responses. Some ...

MitoPunch, a high-throughput mitochondrial transfer device, produces cells with specific mtDNA-nuclear DNA (nDNA) combinations by transferring isolated mitochondria from mouse or human cells into ...
