Traditionally referred to as the powerhouses of cells, mitochondria play a vital role in the conversion of food into energy for biological processes in cell biology. However, in recent years, a ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Research led by the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne reports that misincorporation of ribonucleotides into mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) initiates an inflammatory cascade.

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.

Mitochondria release segments of mitochondrial DNA that can travel through pores of the nucleus and integrate into a cell's chromosomes (where the insertions are called NUMTs, for nuclear ...

When mitochondria fail, the consequences can be devastating – particularly for children with genetic disorders that rob cells of their ability to produce energy. Now, researchers at the University of ...

Heteroplasmic MT-ND5 mutations introduce systematic impact on cells. By Yuanyuan et al., generated by BioRender. GA, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- With mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ) base ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...
