For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these ...

Zebrafish can now be used to study COX deficiencies in humans, a discovery that gives scientists an unprecedented window to view the earliest stages of mitochondrial impairments that lead to ...

Sleep may not just be rest for the mind—it may be essential maintenance for the body's power supply. A new study by University of Oxford researchers, published in Nature, reveals that the pressure to ...

Genetic research in zebrafish has surprised the researchers behind the study. The results have the potential to change the prevalent perception of the cardiac disorder atrial fibrillation.

Mitochondria have primarily been known as the energy-producing components of cells. But scientists are increasingly discovering that these small organelles do much more than just power cells. They ...

Aggression is a complex behavior dependent on numerous factors such as personal experiences, upbringing, social context, personality and genetics. Florian Reichmann and his team at the Med Uni Graz ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed two new zebrafish models for studying a specific genetic form of mitochondrial disease that represents the most common cause ...
