How One Tiny Cellular Structure Holds the Key to Better Health & Longevity — and How You Can Harness It ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn more calories. The findings could open the door to new treatments for ...

Nanoflowers, which look white, can help healthy cells, colored yellow, deliver mitochondria, colored red, to nearby cells. Akhilesh K. Gaharwar Most of your cells rely on microscopic structures within ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ...

Mitochondria isolated from onions entered lung immune cells in mice and restored their energy balance, revealing an unexpected way plant-derived organelles can regulate inflammation inside mammalian ...

Urolithin A has been called the “mitochondria makeover pill,” a powerful fuel to trigger cellular regeneration that makes people feel younger. Naturally, boasting such a claim may invite skepticism — ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria provide 90% of our bodies' energy, but less well-known are their roles in cellular signaling and ...

You've heard that mitochondria are the "powerhouse of the cell." Now get ready for "mitochondria are the infantry of the cell!" UCLA microbiologists have discovered that in addition to producing ...
