Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

A new study shows how failing mitochondria and rising oxidative stress may set off key steps in Parkinson’s disease.

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 ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox ...

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 ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types.

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...
