Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...
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 ...
A team led by Prof. Richard GU Hongri, Assistant Professor in the Division of Integrative Systems and Design of the Academy ...
Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...
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 ...
Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...
Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and are often referred to as the cell’s “powerhouses.” They produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, providing fuel ...
Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...
