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 ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial ... headed by Professor Pla-Martín from the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at HHU, has identified a ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

One of the most intriguing findings of all, though, is that—in laboratory cultures, at least—transplanted mitochondria rejuvenate the biochemistry of elderly host cells. Given the number of free ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now gained ...

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

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 ...
