Despite being renowned as the “powerhouse of the cell,” mitochondria can also be a source of heartache for those living with mitochondrial disease—especially when planning to have children. Because ...
In most cases, the damage is linked to mutations in the OPA1 gene, which interfere with mitochondrial function (how cells make energy and stay healthy). New research led by Thomas Schwarz, Ph.D., and ...
In a new study led by the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), researchers found that mitochondrial dysfunction in the ...
The long-awaited results of the 2017 trial suggest that the approach can reduce the risk of mitochondrial disease—but not everyone is convinced. Eight babies have been born in the UK thanks to a ...
A genetic condition known as 22q.11.2 deletion syndrome is associated with an increased risk of mental illness. A Penn Vet and CHOP collaborative team found that mitochondrial function is required for ...
A pilot study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland found metabolites related to oxidative stress and the transsulfuration pathway of one-carbon metabolism to be associated with a history of ...
Millions of people worldwide live with mitochondrial diseases. These are inherited conditions that make it hard for the body’s cells to produce energy. For a long time, patients had few options ...
University of Queensland researchers identified a new role for microRNA miR-71 in regulating mitochondrial stress pathways in ...
