A mitochondrial DNA mutation passed down through the maternal line in some Venezuelan families has been linked to severe ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

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 ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte New evidence from Indian patients shows that severe COVID-19 is associated with distinct mitochondrial ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...

How One Tiny Cellular Structure Holds the Key to Better Health & Longevity — and How You Can Harness It ...
