Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing.

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

The mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, plays a surprising role in diet and health since its function in energy production directly influences body metabolism, that are also involved in aging ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition. Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor at ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death. They have ...

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 ...
