They contain DNA inherited from one's mother ... genetic and environmental factors known to impact mitochondrial disease pathology." The researchers found that reactive oxygen molecules produced ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells ... this suggests that numtogenesis might be a way that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to pathology and contributes to conditions that ...

Results from a new study help resolve the decade-long mystery of why many patients with the deadliest form of skin cancer do ...

Defects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance and mitochondrial ... dysfunction is a novel concept in mitochondrial pathology and may have important implications for understanding tissue ...

Together with her UWA colleagues she is closer to understanding how proteins encoded by DNA in the cell nucleus need to cooperate with proteins encoded from mitochondrial DNA to effectively ...

Because of this history, mitochondria still have their own ring-shaped DNA—completely separate from the 23 chromosomes that make up most of the human genome. And although those chromosomes come ...

ATP-production is essential for vesicle docking, fusion and endocytosis. Mitochondrial pathology and some treatments affect the mitochondrial membrane potential. Disrupting the MMP results in more ...

Damaged mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) initiates and spreads Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology, potentially opening new avenues for early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and drug development.
