A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing.

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition. Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor at ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan have shown that the mitochondrial protein COX7RP extends healthy lifespan in mice by enhancing mitochondrial energy efficiency. As people around the world are living longer than ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death. They have ...

Tiny biological batteries known as mitochondria keep the body's cells running smoothly, and their gradual decline is linked ...
