So how do nanoparticles, which are 80 to 100 thousand times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, form inside a fire? I specialize in making nanoparticles in fire—specifically using a ...

And, for one type of organelle, that principle is now being tested in practice. Mitochondria, the organelles in question, are best known as power packs—places where glucose molecules are ...

Our proprietary Topas Platform, comprising antigen-coupled nanoparticles, targets liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to drive T cells toward tolerance. The topline readout from our Phase 2a clinical ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition. Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor ...

Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how mitochondria influence the body's immune response through modulating specific cell signaling ...

Most of us remember two things from high school biology: that mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and that we inherit stable sets of chromosomes from our two parents. Both truisms are only ...

Mitochondria have long been known as the tiny organelles that act as the battery packs inside our cells while also serving as internal sensors and communicators. But relatively little is ...

Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ nuclear genomes. What’s more, these insertions might be associated with life ...

As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. Now a study shows that mitochondria are possibly even stranger than we thought. The study, titled "Somatic ...

A newly identified identified cellular mechanism allows mitochondria to recycle localized damage and maintain healthy function. Mitochondria, the so-called "powerhouse of the cell," depend on a ...
