Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

We could be a step closer to “recharging aging tissues” in humans, which would be a game changer for modern medicine. This is the welcome discovery of scientists at Texas A&M University who may have ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a significant complication of cirrhosis, but its progression and underlying mechanisms ...
