Mitochondria are vital to energy production in cells and so play a key role in fueling cancer growth. However, how ...

Bits of DNA from mitochondria can skip surprisingly fast into our genome and may reduce lifespan M ost of us remember two ...

Scientists uncover a vital mechanism linking neuronal activity to mitochondrial function, offering hope in combating ...

New research identifies E-TCmito as a key link between neuronal activity and mitochondrial function, highlighting its ...

St. Jude researchers reveal that moderate levels of mitochondrial DNA mutations boost leukemia growth by increasing metabolic ...

Notably, this coupling crumbles with age in mice. Restoring it not only bolstered neuronal energy reserves, but also strengthened synaptic signaling and counteracted memory loss in old animals.

DNA was obtained from the peripheral blood and interrogated for mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood were examined for respiratory ...

These mechanisms involve shifts in metabolic pathways, alterations in mitochondrial DNA stability. By targeting microbes as well as metabolites to regulate mitochondrial function, the proliferation ...

Scientists discover a 'mortality timer' in cells, revealing new insights into aging and potential ways to extend lifespan.

Today's improved genetic testing can help African Americans pinpoint their ancestry with greater precision than ever.
