From ATP production to cellular repair, mitochondrial resilience may help determine how well cells age and which strategies ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that links two fundamental processes ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 6, 2026, titled "Inhibition of peroxisomal protein PRX-11 ...

Dubbed the powerhouses of the cell because they turn nutrients into energy, mitochondria are tiny organelles that live inside the cell and are key to metabolic health. New research offers fresh ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

A newly identified identified cellular mechanism allows mitochondria to recycle localized damage and maintain healthy function. Mitochondria, the so-called "powerhouse of the cell," depend on a newly ...

An international team of geneticists and molecular biologists has discovered the first-known, free-living eukaryote to have lost its mitochondria. In their study, published in Nature Communications, ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...

In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

Eukaryotes are the branch of the tree of life with complex cells, containing a separate compartment for DNA, lots of internal compartments, and mitochondria that use oxygen to provide lots of energy.
