Millions of people worldwide live with mitochondrial diseases. These are inherited conditions that make it hard for the ...

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.

Defective mitochondria – the 'batteries' that power the cells of our bodies – could in future be repaired using gene-editing techniques. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have shown that it is ...

In a recent study published in the Experimental Gerontology Journal, researchers reviewed the current knowledge related to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and the role of mitochondria concerning ...

Research led by the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne reports that misincorporation of ribonucleotides into mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) initiates an inflammatory cascade. Subscribe to ...

Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of the cell, are central to energy metabolism, cell survival, and inflammation control. With ageing, mitochondrial efficiency declines, leading to ...

The body’s biochemistry is nothing short of amazing and science is increasingly revealing the role that nutrition is involved with this. In considering this, let’s begin with the mysterious world of ...

Back in the 19 th century, as the US grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War, Jesse James, leader of a notorious gang of outlaws, rose to prominence. He robbed banks and trains for over a decade ...

The ability to edit mammalian mitochondrial DNA has proven challenging. Recently, a new tool for mitochondrial DNA mutagenesis has emerged—the double-stranded DNA deaminase (DddA)-derived cytosine ...
