Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

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

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that ...

Reduction in mitochondrial activity in multiple sclerosis contributes to Purkinje cell loss. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA) have demonstrated the role mitochondrial ...

The energy factories in our cells contain their own genes, and genetic mutations in them can cause deadly inherited diseases. These oblong-shaped organelles, or mitochondria, translate genes into ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ...

Constraint models have been extremely useful in identifying the deleterious variants that underlie disease in the part of the genome in the cell nucleus. However, nuclear constraint models could not ...

For years, researchers have watched the tiny power plants inside brain cells falter in Parkinson’s disease and wondered what came first. Did those damaged mitochondria trigger the illness, or did they ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
