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

Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary method for mass-producing high-quality human mitochondria, potentially transforming ...

Calcium transport into and out of mitochondria is central to cellular energy production and cell death. To maintain the ...

Scientists created a stem cell-based method to produce high-quality mitochondria at scale, enabling effective treatments for ...

Conversely, a team at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, used rats to show that transplanted mitochondria stop damaged ...

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

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as ...

Damage to the mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers now describe how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers have identified a molecule that helps ...

Precious metals are not merely ornaments; they are also important components of pharmaceuticals, like the antitumor drug ...

With damaged mitochondria, cells are not as well equipped to make energy. In the brain, stressed cells can cause neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. As a consequence, cells deploy various means ...
