In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major obstacle that limits effective cancer treatments. Various cells around the tumor promote immunosuppression and prevent the immune system from targeting ...

James McCully was in the lab extracting tiny structures called mitochondria from cells when researchers on his team rushed in. They’d been operating on a pig heart and couldn’t get it pumping normally ...

Mitochondria are well known as energy suppliers, and powerhouses of cells, but they have other crucial functions as well. One of those functions is outcompeting pathogens for resources, according to ...

Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their ...

Investigators have developed a way to 'supercharge' T cells by supplying them with extra mitochondria from multipotent stromal cells. Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 700 million people worldwide and is caused by genetic and environmental ...

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 ...
