Mitochondria are primarily known as the powerhouse of the cell. However, these cellular organelles are required not only for providing energy: Professor Konstanze Winklhofer and her group at the Faculty of Medicine at Ruhr ...
Scientists at the University of Cologne have discovered how cells can eliminate mutated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Due to their evolutionary descent from bacteria, mitochondria still have genetic material packaged in chromosome-like ...
Water—which makes up the majority of every cell in the body—plays a key role in how proteins, including those associated with Parkinson's disease, fold, misfold, or clump together, according to a new study.
Propofol is the most commonly used drug to induce general anesthesia. Despite its frequent clinical application, exactly how propofol causes anesthesia is poorly understood.
Investigators have discovered that outer mitochondrial membrane proteins regulate crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in the Journal of Cell Biology. These findings ...
As researchers glean new insights into the dynamic inner world of the human immune system, it has become increasingly clear that mitochondria are critical regulators of how our bodies respond to disease.
"You're not dead till you're warm and dead."
Researchers at LSU, in collaboration with Zuse Institute in Berlin, Germany, have developed an ultraviolet metasurface that discriminates between left- and right-handed amino acids with attomolar sensitivity.
A new drug designed by scientists at Scripps Research can turn the COVID-19 virus into a harbinger of its own doom.
In a recent study, researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and other universities in China have reported that brain stimulation combined with a nose spray containing nanoparticles can improve recovery after ischemic ...
