For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
