Stress definitely leads to anxiety just like isolation makes way for depression. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues but the underlying ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading ...

This week there was news on Long COVID in two very different directions: emergence of strong data to support mitochondrial dysfunction as the basis for the condition in some people, and learning how ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

A light-sensitive protein can restore mitochondria function in fruit flies bearing a gene mutation associated with Parkinson’s disease and relieve its symptoms, report researchers at Juntendo ...

DJ-1 is a protein with wide subcellular distribution and pleiotropic functions. The loss-of-function mutations of DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease yet the ...

“Our new tool allows us to study how changes in mitochondrial abundance and the mitochondrial genome affect cells and organisms,” said Jun Wu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at UT ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

A new study is offering novel insights into the effects of too much salt on certain immune cells. The research reveals how salt can dampen mitochondrial functions, disrupting normal immune cell ...
