This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

Brian Cunniff, an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Vermont, will discuss how the subcellular positioning of mitochondria regulates gene-expression patterns ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

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 ...

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 ...

JAX Scientists not only uncover how an energy boost from mitochondria fuels blood disorders, but also how to shut it down As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the ...

A team of international researchers led by Karolinska Institutet has revealed in unprecedented detail how tetracycline antibiotics impair T cell function by binding mitochondrial ribosomes and ...

Scientists have discovered how aging blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth edge, creating fertile ground for the development of clonol hematopoiesis, a condition that dramatically ...

Share on Pinterest Scientists have found an explanation for how NAD affects the aging process. Johner Images/Getty Images NAD is a molecule found in every living cell of the body that plays an ...
