This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Beyond their role as the cell’s powerhouses, mitochondria are dynamic signaling hubs that influence immunity, stress responses, and even genetic regulation. The citric acid cycle not only fuels ATP ...

A novel method for directing mitochondria to specific cells could reshape how scientists approach diseases driven by cellular dysfunction.

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 ...

During bacterial infection, mitochondrial splitting helps activate host defenses. Researchers pinpointed an enzyme behind ...

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition suggests that the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to cell death is secretly driving the aging of blood stem cells in a ...
