Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a role in almost everything that makes you healthy. With the right lifestyle ...

In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest, inconsistent results. A new line of research is now pointing to a ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

The quest for longevity and vitality has captivated humanity for millennia, but only in recent decades has science begun to unravel the biological mechanisms underlying ageing. Today’s anti-ageing ...

Mitochondrial respiratory complexes (Complexes I–V) and their assembly into respiratory supercomplexes (SCs) are fundamental to liver bioenergetics, redox homeostasis, and metabolic adaptability.
