Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

DURING the past few decades the mitochondrion, as a self-contained unit within the cell, has been a magnificent tool in the hands of biochemists, physiologists and anatomists in their attempts to ...

As we age, our cells lose energy and adaptability—a process closely linked to the function of mitochondria, the cell’s ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

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 ...

The mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, plays a surprising role in diet and health since its function in energy production directly influences body metabolism, that are also involved in aging ...

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 landmark study illustrates how recharging the brain's mitochondrial activity can reverse memory loss in dementia, ...
