The NLRP3 inflammasome lies at the heart of inflammation in many immunological settings, but the exact mechanisms controlling its activation have remained elusive. Michael Karin and colleagues now ...
As we age, the genes in our cells accumulate more mutations. This is one of the contributory factors to age-related diseases and the aging process. However, in a new study published in Science ...
A team of researchers from the U.S., China and Taiwan has found some rare instances of fathers passing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to their offspring. In their paper published in Proceedings of the ...
Explore the groundbreaking shift in the human mitochondrial DNA tree with ancestral genome insights for a more cohesive mtDNA reference. The new article in The American Journal of Human Genetics, A ...
When it comes to identification with DNA, forensic scientists have two basic approaches at their disposal. One approach analyzes nuclear DNA and is useful in identifying someone who is alive or has ...
A high-throughput single-cell single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technology known as iMiGseq has provided new insights into mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and offers a platform for ...
Mice carrying mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) with pathogenic mutations would provide a system in which to study how mutant mtDNAs are transmitted and distributed in tissues, resulting in expression of ...
Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders with varying clinical features caused by impaired function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The underlying cause can be gene ...
When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. A new chemical tool developed at UC Riverside ...
Mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is thought to be strictly maternally inherited. 1,2 Sperm mitochondria disappear in early embryogenesis by selective destruction, inactivation, or simple dilution ...
A new platform for studying mitochondrial DNA mutations implicated in human disease could revolutionize research in health, disease and evolution, and accelerate efforts to develop treatments for ...
You are a forensic scientist recruited to help solve a long-standing "missing persons" case. Mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA for short, is the key to your success. Take careful notes as your teacher ...
