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 ...

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

You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

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

A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that conditions known to cause nerve damage, ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave the way to new regenerative medicine therapies ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn ...

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