BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is substantially influenced by genetic factors. Sarcomere function is intricately associated with other organelles, particularly the reciprocal regulation ...

His murder became a national sensation, and rumors of him faking death to escape justice soon followed. The unique properties of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have made it a useful tool for forensic ...

We now show that NT induces release of extracellular mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that could act as "autoimmune" trigger. We further show that serum from young autistic patients contains mtDNA (n ...

Also, in sperm cells, the mitochondria spiral in the midpiece and provide energy for tail motion. Although most of our DNA is in the nucleus of each cell, mitochondria have their own set of DNA.

This valuable study investigates how stochastic and deterministic factors are integrated during cellular decision-making, particularly in situations where cells differentiate into distinct fates ...

The yeast nuclear endonuclease Rnt1 has a well-characterized role in the maturation of many ncRNA precursors. However, the scope and consequence of its function in mRNA degradation pathways is much ...
