This Collection brings mitochondria into focus within the aging field, emphasizing their central role in cellular senescence, local and systemic dysfunction, and age-related disease.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell.

Chronic infections impact a substantial portion of the global population, presenting ongoing challenges to health care ...

Scientists found mitochondria size does not coincide with energy demand in the brain as it ages, potentially causing age-related working memory impairment. Their findings point to mitochondria ...

Using a newly developed, highly specialized tool, the team was able to boost mitochondrial activity in animal models of ...

A new study shows that faulty mitochondria may be a root cause of dementia symptoms. Stimulating these cellular “powerhouses” in mice restored memory, offering a potential new approach to treating ...
