Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

After 50 years of mystery, researchers at the University of Cambridge have revealed how a molecular machine inside ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...

To specifically study the location-dependent effect of hydrogen peroxide ... However, in their study, hydrogen peroxide produced at high levels at the mitochondria induced cell death before it could ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. The paper C. Fecher et al., “Cell-type-specific profiling of brain mitochondria reveals functional and molecular diversity,” Nat Neurosci, ...

Their findings reveal that mutated cells have mitochondria that produce energy at double the capacity of normal cells. These enhanced mitochondria give the mutated stem cells a significant growth ...

Often called the "energy currency" of cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced in mitochondria by oxidative ...

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

mitochondria are rather dynamic. They constantly shift in size, number and location, traveling between many different parts of the cell to meet different demands. These mitochondrial dynamics are ...
