Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

A team led by Prof. Richard GU Hongri, Assistant Professor in the Division of Integrative Systems and Design of the Academy ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a role in almost everything that makes you healthy. With the right lifestyle ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

A signal sequence at the tip of a protein recognizes a receptor protein on the outer mitchondrial membrane. This causes diffusion of this tethered protein through the membrane to a contact site. When ...

Stress definitely leads to anxiety just like isolation makes way for depression. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues but the underlying ...
