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

Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria earned the nickname ...

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

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 ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 700 million people worldwide and is caused by genetic and environmental ...

The "power plants" of living cells, the mitochondria, probably evolved through endosymbiosis: A bacterium migrated into a primordial cell and eventually developed into an organelle that provides the ...

A surprising link between Alzheimer’s and cancer reveals that amyloid beta, a harmful protein in the brain, actually empowers ...

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 ...

Scientists literally are shining a light on cancer cells’ energy centers to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study “mLumiOpto Is a Mitochondrial-Targeted ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...
