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

Scientists created safer weight loss chemicals that make cells burn more calories without dangerous side effects.

The team, led by researchers from the University of Technology Sydney in Australia, focussed on "mitochondrial uncouplers" - ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs targeting mitochondria -- the energy powerhouse of a cell -- to work harder and ...

Mitochondria are ancient organelles within mammalian cells that are believed to have derived from free-floating bacteria. Scientists speculate that our primitive mammalian cells engulfed this ...

Researchers in Japan have shown that the mitochondrial protein COX7RP extends healthy lifespan in mice by enhancing ...

A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Mitochondria-Associated 1), acts as a central hub in the regulation ...

Scientists have developed oral nanorobots that target damaged heart tissue, deliver energy, and repair mitochondrial function, offering a novel approach to treating ischemic heart disease. (Nanowerk ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...
