Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

Reversing mitochondrial damage could help cure diabetes Regardless of the cell type, the researchers found that damage to the mitochondria did not cause cell death. This observation brought up the ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...

She joined the Hope faculty in 2016. Her research and teaching are focused in biochemistry. Her current research focus is the study of biochemical mechanisms that control mitochondrial function. The ...

Mitochondria have an extraordinary metabolic capacity. For a cell to fully benefit from this, a whole host of mechanisms have evolved to tightly control mitochondrial homeostasis. This happens at ...

As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source of DNA damage. Despite this longstanding belief, few studies have explicitly demonstrated this linkage. Tobias Dansen, a ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial endosymbiont still preserve distinct genes and are known for their ability to ...
