A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria earned the nickname “powerhouse of the cell” because they provide 90% of our bodies’ energy. Less ...

Mitochondria isolated from onions entered lung immune cells in mice and restored their energy balance, revealing an ...

A study led by EPFL shows that Urolithin A, a natural compound, can abolish high anxiety in rats by repairing mitochondrial function in their brain cells, specifically in the nucleus accumbens. The ...

People need to sleep, and sleep deprivation can cause many changes in the brain. But we have a poor understanding of why sleep is so crucial. New research has examined a fruit fly model to assess how ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These mutations can give the cells a growth advantage, laying the foundation for ...

Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their ...

A team of South Korean researchers has developed a new analytical technique to precisely distinguish proteins within the ...

“Extracellular vesicles are rewriting how we think about communication inside the human body,” says Dr. Marvin Edeas, President of the Mitochondria ... brain function and aging itself. The truth is, ...
