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

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

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

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

Mitochondria fuel your muscles, immune system and cellular repair – and their performance affects everything from fitness to ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

A signal sequence at the tip of a protein recognizes a receptor protein on the outer mitchondrial membrane. This causes diffusion of this tethered protein through the membrane to a contact site. When ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have used 49 pairs of identical twins to delve into the metabolic changes that can take place in fat tissue as a result of obesity, teasing out some distinct ...
