Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Scientists are increasingly convinced that the tiny power plants inside our cells are a major lever in how many calories we burn, even at rest. New work on “boosting” these mitochondria suggests it ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...

Research led by Shannon Farris, an assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, found a mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons, like those highlighted ...
