When mitochondria fail, the consequences can be devastating – particularly for children with genetic disorders that rob cells of their ability to produce energy. Now, researchers at the University of ...

In Parkinson’s disease (PD), damaged mitochondria build up in the dopaminergic system of the substantia nigra, partly due to impaired mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) and autophagosome accumulation ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a molecule that helps more mitochondria function properly. Mitochondrial diseases caused by POLG mutations vary in severity. In young ...

(NASDAQ: NAGE) (formerly ChromaDex Corp.), the global authority on NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) with a focus on the science of healthy aging, reaffirms that the manufacturing of its ...

Cholesterol is critical for mitochondrial membrane structure and function. Given the emergence of mitochondria as a key factor in the pathogenesis of heart failure, mitochondrial cholesterol ...

The mitochondria act as the energy factories of our cells, creating ATP that drives our bodily functions. Inefficiencies in mitochondrial function have been associated with a variety of health ...

NAD, aka nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ... protect against damage and support healthy function in things like DNA repair and mitochondrial health,” says Mandavia. “Since NAD+ levels ...

Experts recognize that healthy mitochondria play a direct role in metabolism, fat oxidation, and even cognitive function. When mitochondria are damaged or inefficient, fatigue, weight gain, and slow ...
