Scientists have found a way to supercharge lung cancer treatment by transplanting healthy mitochondria into tumors, which ...

Infusion of tiny mitochondria helps rejuvenate tissues, so researchers hope the technique could treat a variety of damaged organs.

Cancer cells mount an instant, energy-rich response to being physically squeezed, helping them to repair DNA damage and ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and ...

Cancer cells mount an instant, energy‑rich response to being physically squeezed, according to a study published in the ...

Textbooks say that mitochondria exist to supply cells with energy, but experiments in fruit flies suggest they are also ...

Mitochondria are organelles found in the cells of most eukaryotic organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi, whose cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

While chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of lung cancer treatment, it often weakens the immune system it relies on for ...

Similarly, if our cells are exposed to too much glucose or fat—or, worse, both together, causing what doctors refer to as glucolipotoxicity—the mitochondria undergo fission and fragment into ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...
