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

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

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...

In a recent study published in the Experimental Gerontology Journal, researchers reviewed the current knowledge related to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and the role of mitochondria concerning ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest ...

Tiny biological batteries known as mitochondria keep the body's cells running smoothly, and their gradual decline is linked to a wide range of age-related diseases. Now scientists think they have ...

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 ...
