Researchers have identified a molecule that helps more mitochondria function properly. A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have ...

Mitochondrial diseases, arising from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are a diverse group of disorders that lead to severe conditions. Expression of mtDNA is a prerequisite for ATP production ...

Mitochondrial diseases caused by POLG mutations vary in severity. In young children, these diseases can quickly result in brain damage and life-threatening liver problems while others suffer ...

The discovery could help scientists design new therapeutic agents to combat calcium overload of mitochondria in conditions such as heart failure and Alzheimer's disease. Mitochondrial calcium ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as “guardians” of mitochondria, small ...

That fact hasn’t stopped researchers from exploring how to leverage mitochondrial transfer to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer and stroke. All mitochondria — in whatever organism ...
