This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Scientists at Scripps Research published findings that demonstrate how a mitochondrial protein structure is necessary to activate the cell’s integrated stress response (ISR), which is a critical ...

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

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Dr. Tian Liu’s research focuses on elucidating the roles of mitochondrial function in human aging-related diseases and health using genetic and multi-omics (i.e., proteomics and metabolomics) ...

Scientists found mitochondria size does not coincide with energy demand in the brain as it ages, potentially causing age-related working memory impairment. Their findings point to mitochondria ...

Mitochondria are remarkable shape-shifting organelles that have long been understood as the powerhouses inside our cells. But relatively little is known about how the constant fission and fusion of ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

A new study shows metformin enhances myelin repair in human-based models by tuning mitochondrial metabolism, offering hope for multiple sclerosis treatment. Study: Metformin alters ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of ...

If the drug works in people, it could prevent kidney injury in high-risk populations, or potentially even treat other ...
