After a century of false starts, scientists believe they have found a way to make cells burn more energy without the ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

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

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

The energy factories in our cells contain their own genes, and genetic mutations in them can cause deadly inherited diseases. These oblong-shaped organelles, or mitochondria, translate genes into ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

NAD is a molecule found in every living cell of the body that plays an important role in creating energy in the body. Researchers from the University of Bergen, for the first time, show how ...

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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

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 ...
