By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

Harnessing the power of a metabolite produced in the kidneys and absorbed from certain foods can mimic the health benefits ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

A study by the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) led by Marilene Demasi from the Butantan Institute (São Paulo, Brazil) presents a valuable new experimental model for investigating ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations ...

Mitochondria are tiny, membrane‑bound organelles that act as the power stations of brain cells. The energy they produce is critical in the brain as this organ consumes roughly 20 percent of the body’s ...

Telomir-1 improved survival in progeria cells and normalized ROS levels under oxidative stress. The candidate reduced mitochondrial calcium overload, restoring cell energy balance. Geopolitical ...

“Mitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the total genome but can tell us a lot. The limitations lie in its relatively small size compared to nuclear DNA and in the fact that it is only inherited ...

Mitochondrial health testing is becoming the go-to tool for tracking biological age and optimizing energy, metabolism, and cognitive performance. Here’s how data-driven longevity is changing the ...

The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes plays a crucial role in cellular and molecular processes including DNA damage detection and repair and transcription; indeed, PARP inhibitors ...
