Kennedy Jr.’s warning about mitochondria slipped in between the anti-vaccine junk science and the excoriation of pharmaceutical drugs as “the No. 3 killer in our country.” He was speaking in 2023 to ...

If a drug could be found that attaches to Cys41 and keeps the Fis1 molecules from forming pairs, it could prevent stress-induced mitochondrial fragmentation, Wakatsuki said. The team screened ...

The tomography gave us a 3D view of the cristae. Some mitochondria in the hearts of the sick mice had jagged, highly irregular cristae—the unhealthy look I had been seeing in the 2D pictures.

The new function of ATR involves its localization not only in the nucleus but also in mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of the cell. ATR interacts with PINK1, the key regulator of the mitochondrial ...

A new study in mice suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may change the gut microbiome and thus drive Crohn's disease. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Restoring mitochondrial function may be one approach to treating neurodegenerative diseases. Highwaystarz-Photography/iStock via Getty Images Plus In our 2024 study, we found an additional benefit ...

Researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) report that mitochondria depend on a newly discovered recycling mechanism. Their research demonstrates mitochondria can recycle a localized ...

Mitochondria, the so-called “powerhouse of the cell,” depend on a newly discovered recycling mechanism identified by scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).

The Hospital for Sick Children. "Self-repairing mitochondria use novel recycling system." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 21 August 2024. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 08 / 240821124225.htm>.

When we have mitochondrial dysfunction and we become underpowered, we end up getting dysfunction of our cells and [that] leads to dysfunctional organs and that is disease and symptoms.

Weyand: Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell. They produce the energy. They produce it in a currency that is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP functions like a little battery.

When mitochondria are sick, however, some fuels may be better than others – and the best may not come in “heart healthy” packaging. In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Southwell et al, report ...
