Levels of nutrients and other criteria can tip the balance toward either fusion or division. In some specialized cell types, like neurons and sperm, energy needs are high and mitochondria are ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in acquiring pluripotency and determining cell fate. The mitochondrial unfolded protein ...

Scientists have discovered how aging blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth edge, creating fertile ground for the development of clonol hematopoiesis, a condition that dramatically ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as ...

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

A cell is like a factory ... However, too much Drp1 activity causes excessive division, leading to fragmented mitochondria with impaired function. We also observed behavior changes in rats ...

Without cell division, long-term tissue survival would ... damaged cells — including those with DNA damage or defective mitochondria. During apoptosis, cellular proteases and nucleases are ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations.

A major barrier to understanding the brain's energy landscape is the "scale gap" between microscopic studies of mitochondria within individual cells and macroscopic neuroimaging studies ...

Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how mitochondria influence ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. B.H. Abuaita et al., “Mitochondria-derived vesicles deliver antimicrobial reactive oxygen species to control phagosome-localized Staphylococcus aureus,” Cell Host ...

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...
