A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies’ stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

Scraps of DNA discarded by our neurons' power units are being absorbed into our nuclear genome far more frequently than assumed, potentially putting our brains at greater risk of developing ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune defenses primed. Now researchers have identified a previously unknown form of ...

The bean-shaped organelles are now being recognized for their part in immune signaling, stress responses, and neural ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The team identified two enzymes that regulate a chemical modification, 6mA, in mitochondrial ...

Back in the 19 th century, as the US grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War, Jesse James, leader of a notorious gang of outlaws, rose to prominence. He robbed banks and trains for over a decade ...
