An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Dr. Bent Brachvogel has examined how mitochondria influence ... in the skeletal system using a mouse model. They were able to show that a ...

In collaboration with cell biologist Dr. Parisa Kakanj from the University of Cologne, the researchers have gained new insights into cell recycling ... whole mitochondria. Early findings in human ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial ... has identified a specialized recycling system, which cells activate when they identify damage to the mtDNA.

now describe in the scientific journal Science Advances how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to eliminate damaged genetic material. Damage to the genetic material ...

Researchers now describe how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to eliminate ... using fruit flies (Drosophila) as a model organism. Dr Kakanj showed that ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria – the mitochondrial ... has identified a specialized recycling system, which cells activate when they identify damage to the mtDNA.

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 ...

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) ...

An emerging area of research is the evolutionarily conserved transfer of mitochondria between cells. Yet researchers have lacked unique and universally accepted terms and practices to describe such ...

Mitochondria play an essential role in maintaining cellular health. When damaged, they are removed through a recycling process called mitophagy, which is crucial for the function of long-lived ...

Initially, this theory was criticized as absurd, but as evidence gradually emerged that the membrane structure and molecular machinery within mitochondria are very similar to those of extant ...
