Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

This small body within the living cell is the site of the chemical events that supply energy to the cell. The molecular architecture that underlies this function has recently been revealed in detail ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Mitochondria fuel your muscles, immune system and cellular repair – and their performance affects everything from fitness to ...

Cells are full of little machines that perform critical functions, like mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. But new research has revealed that in photoreceptor cells, ...

Stress definitely leads to anxiety just like isolation makes way for depression. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues but the underlying ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

A signal sequence at the tip of a protein recognizes a receptor protein on the outer mitchondrial membrane. This causes diffusion of this tethered protein through the membrane to a contact site. When ...
