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

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

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

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

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as “guardians” of mitochondria, small ...

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 ...

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 ...
