You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a ...

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

Scientists have discovered that boosting the COX7RP protein enhances cellular energy efficiency and significantly extends ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

In a small study, sprint interval exercise helped to “clean-up and rebuild” cells better than steady-state moderate-intensity cardio. Experts say it doesn't take a lot to benefit from this effect—even ...

The mitochondria are considered the ‘powerhouses’ or ‘engines’ of your cells. As Dr. Terry Wahls points out, most chronic diseases involve dysfunctional mitochondria. Poorly functioning mitochondria ...

How training affects cells is determined not only by whether we move at all, but also by how intensely and for how long we do ...

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

An emerging area of research is the evolutionarily conserved transfer of mitochondria between cells. Yet researchers have lacked unique and universally accepted terms and practices to describe such ...
