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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

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 ...

Stress definitely leads to anxiety just like isolation makes way for depression. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues but the underlying ...
