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 ...

New research illustrates how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to eliminate damaged ...

Damage to the mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers now describe how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to ...

A research team from the International Research Center for Medical Sciences (IRCMS) at Kumamoto University has identified a ...

In some samples, the researchers also estimated the mitochondria’s efficiency at producing energy. To extend their findings beyond a single brain slab, the authors developed a model to predict ...

Picking up the baton, Parkin ligates ubiquitin molecules to damaged mitochondria, tagging them for degradation and recycling. Kinase Interrupted. Atomic model of PINK1 dimer (in pink, fittingly) ...

The first brain mitochondria map has been assembled by scientists in what could be the key to unraveling age-related brain disorders.
