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

Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria.

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

Scientists created a stem cell-based method to produce high-quality mitochondria at scale, enabling effective treatments for ...

Calcium transport into and out of mitochondria is central to cellular energy production and cell death. To maintain the ...

Conversely, a team at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, used rats to show that transplanted mitochondria stop 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 ...

Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary method for mass-producing high-quality human mitochondria, potentially transforming ...

According to Hiromi Sesaki, Ph.D., professor of cell biology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who studies how mitochondria grow, divide and fuse, the organelle’s size must be ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as "guardians" of mitochondria, small ...
