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

The pig’s heart was graying rapidly, so McCully decided to try it. He loaded a syringe with the extracted mitochondria and injected them directly into the heart. Before his eyes, it began beating ...

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

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

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van ...

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

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Study finds 'supercharging' T cells with mitochondria enhances their antitumor activity Brigham researchers develop strategy to improve immunotherapy by helping T cells penetrate and kill tumor ...
