Mitochondria have long been known as the tiny organelles that act as the battery packs inside our cells while also serving as internal sensors and communicators. But relatively little is understood ...

Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor microenvironments (TMEs) can drain their mitochondrial activity, leading to a condition known as T-cell exhaustion, which ultimately can result ...

Scientists literally are shining a light on cancer cells’ energy centers to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study “mLumiOpto Is a Mitochondrial-Targeted ...

A light-induced gene therapy can damage cancer cells’ mitochondria, triggering widespread cancer cell death. Researchers at Ohio State University (OH, USA) have developed a light-induced gene therapy ...

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 ...

According to “Global Cancer Statistics- 2022”, colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in incidence and second in cancer-related mortality. Given that approximately 50% of cases progress to metastasis and ...

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

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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive types of breast cancer, lacking estrogen, progesterone, and ...
