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 ...

This partial figure from the paper illustrates the steps taken to compare the mitochondria of young and old mice. First, thin tissue slices were imaged with an advanced imaging method called serial ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are involved in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and iron death. At present, the research on cell apoptosis is relatively thorough, and the mechanism of mitochondria in it has also been ...

DURING the past few decades the mitochondrion, as a self-contained unit within the cell, has been a magnificent tool in the hands of biochemists, physiologists and anatomists in their attempts to ...

Every cell in your body runs on a currency called ATP, and the factories that mint it are mitochondria. For decades, ...

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 ...

Your brain is a metabolically fierce organ, punching way above its weight of two pounds to consume 20 to 25 percent of the body’s fuel supply. The brain’s energy-making machinery, centered in ...
