A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave the way to new regenerative medicine therapies ...

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are associated with a variety of pathologies, and the onset and progression of disease are accompanied by alterations in extracellular biochemical and mechanical signals.

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...
