Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular ...

Existing methods to increase mitochondria rely on small-molecule drugs that clear quickly from cells. The Texas A&M technique ...

A light-sensitive protein can restore mitochondria function in fruit flies bearing a gene mutation associated with Parkinson’s disease and relieve its symptoms, report researchers at Juntendo ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox ...

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 ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a particular part of the cell where that role is needed. One of the ways that ...

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, ...

Which exercise is superior for improving mitochondrial functioning? Which exercise results in the most dramatic positive cellular changes? Here’s the research. The post Mitochondria and aging: Why ...

Mitochondria may function more like Tesla batteries than previously thought A team of researchers led by Orian Shirihai, a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, found that the ...

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 ...
