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

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

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 ...

Researchers uncover how kaempferol, a natural compound in kale and berries, may protect nerve cells and fight ALS and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To maintain the balance of calcium within mitochondria, cells rely on a protein known as the mitochondrial sodium-calcium exchanger, or NCLX. Now, scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine ...
