Mitochondrial diseases, arising from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are a diverse group of disorders that lead to ...

When the mechanisms that replicate or repair mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fail, it can cause a wide range of syndromes for which ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers have identified a molecule that helps ...

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

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a small molecule, PZL-A, that restores function in the defective ...

Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt ...

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

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine discovered that mitochondrial proteins Parkin, PINK1, and OMA1 act as guardians of ...

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 ...

Research led by Children's Hospital of Fudan University in China has found that a gene called pancreatic progenitor cell ...
