Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

Mitochondria have long been known as the tiny organelles that act as the battery packs inside our cells while also serving as internal sensors and communicators. But relatively little is understood ...

Scientists literally are shining a light on cancer cells’ energy centers to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study “mLumiOpto Is a Mitochondrial-Targeted ...

Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor microenvironments (TMEs) can drain their mitochondrial activity, leading to a condition known as T-cell exhaustion, which ultimately can result ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation ...

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 ...

A light-induced gene therapy can damage cancer cells’ mitochondria, triggering widespread cancer cell death. Researchers at Ohio State University (OH, USA) have developed a light-induced gene therapy ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...
