The pig’s heart was graying rapidly, so McCully decided to try it. He loaded a syringe with the extracted mitochondria and ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

Mitochondria, after all, perform a variety of crucial functions in the human body. Beyond powering cells, they can affect gene expression, help certain enzymes function, and modulate cell death ...

Treatment for mitochondrial diseases within reach Date: April 9, 2025 Source: University of Gothenburg Summary: A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious ...

Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell. We explain how they got this title, and outline other important roles that they carry out.

New guidelines create clarity of language that will help advance mitochondria transfer and transplantation research for therapeutic innovations. The paper defines types of mitochondria transfer and ...

DNA from mitochondria (illustrated) has turned up in the nuclear genomes of brain cells. The implication for health is still unclear, but the insertions might be associated with life span ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to ...

Bits of DNA from mitochondria can skip surprisingly fast into our genome and may reduce lifespan ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition.
