Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

Normal metabolic activity produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, if not eliminated, can damage cellular components. As a result, ROS from overactive mitochondria are frequently cited as a source ...

Millions of people worldwide live with mitochondrial diseases. These are inherited conditions that make it hard for the body’s cells to produce energy. For a long time, patients had few options ...

Researchers uncover how cells internalize transplanted mitochondria, paving the way for new energy-restoring therapies for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

New findings in mice have uncovered a crucial mechanism linking neuronal activity to mitochondrial function, researchers report, revealing a potential pathway to combat age-related cognitive decline.

Every cell in your body is a small, busy city. It has boundaries, communication networks, recycling systems and manufacturing centers. But every city needs power. Without energy, nothing moves, ...
