mitochondria

Mesenchymal stem cells form nanotubes with and donate mitochondria to T cells, boosting the immune cells’ cancer fighting abilities.

Researchers injected healthy mitochondria to acutely injured kidneys to make them viable for donation.

Although harmful in large quantities, hydrogen sulfide may ameliorate the health consequences of aging when small doses are applied to the mitochondria.

The Lasker Foundation honored Piet Borst for his outstanding research, leadership, and mentorship across various fields, including cancer drug resistance.

Injecting healthy, exogenous mitochondria into the eye could combat mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

High resolution microscopy revealed distinct mitochondrial populations in inner ear hair cells, setting the stage for probing their role in mitochondrial deafness.

Kan Cao studies the rare aging disorder progeria to find a cure, and she’s ready to solve the mysteries of healthy human aging along the way.

Understanding how the heart initially responds to exercise can provide clues into the biological basis of various cardioprotective mechanisms.

Researchers discovered that copper induces cytotoxicity through a distinct pathway termed cuproptosis. This insight guides the use of copper-shuttling drugs to treat copper regulation disorders and opens up new therapeutic applications for cancer.

Armed with beautiful microscope images and new translational assays, Dylan Burnette hopes to discover novel and affordable treatments for heart disease.
