“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in ...

Mitochondria are well known as energy suppliers, and powerhouses of cells, but they have other crucial functions as well. One of those functions is outcompeting pathogens for resources, according to ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing their metastatic potential. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

When war breaks out, power plants are attacked first along with military facilities like air defense networks. The same thing happens in the war inside the human body. Cancer cells have been found to ...

Human egg cells, called oocytes, have to last a long time. They are created before birth, and if they are healthy, they stay viable for many years before they might be fertilized. New research has ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and cell function without genetic modification. (Nanowerk News) Biomedical ...

When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory ...

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, power every heartbeat, thought, and movement. When they fail, organs that need ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use. Plants and ...
