New research published in Nature Communications into hidden mutations in mitochondrial DNA has uncovered how high mutational ...

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

Researchers at the University of Cologne found that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to early skeletal aging by disrupting cartilage metabolism. The study identified maladaptive metabolic shifts, ...

This research explores the interaction between microglial dysfunction and mitochondrial impairment in AD, offering new insights into the disease's progression.

Mutations accumulated in mitochondrial DNA associated with aging were earlier believed to cause aging by decreasing the energy-producing function (mitochondrial respiratory function). In this ...

On this week’s program, could vision and cognitive changes be normal signs of aging or symptoms of something more serious?

On "What's Health," could vision and cognitive changes be normal signs of aging or symptoms of something more serious? After ...

Mitochondria are often described as the power plants of our cells. These tiny structures are critical for converting ...
