Researchers have identified genetics mutations involved in a rare and unnamed neurological disorder.
In both human cell and mouse models of Huntington's disease, RNA from mitochondria was misplaced within spiny projection neurons. The stray RNAs, which looked different to cells than RNA derived from the cell nucleus, trigger an immune reaction that can lead to striatal cell type vulnerability.
Researchers depression and anxiety alters energy metabolism in the brain.
According to researchers, children with ASD have more harmful mitochondrial mutations than their family members.
A new study mitochondria are regulated by the body's circadian clock, making when you eat just as important as what you eat.
A new study reports antioxidant intervention during early stages of Parkinson's disease may help slow its progression.
Allen Institute researchers have launched a new predictive, comprehensive model of a living human cell. The 3D model has been released as a public resource that will allow researchers to study human disease models and better understand cell properties.
Researchers have developed a new model of mitochondrial epilepsy which captures specific features observed in patients. The new model may help provide better therapies and treatments for the condition.
A new study reports on a possible reason for accelerated cell deterioration in Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have discovered a new cellular mechanism that may be a root cause of multiple sclerosis.
Exposing mice to THC, researchers noted persistent activation of mitochondrial cannabinoid receptors located within astrocytes resulted in a cascade of molecular processing that led to dysfunctional glucose metabolism. The ability of astrocytes to transform glucose into "food" for neurons was reduced. The reduction resulted in a compromise in neural function, with a harmful impact on behavior. Specifically, social interactions were reduced for 24 hours post cannabis exposure.
Study confirms stress can accelerate premature graying of hair, but there is hope. Reducing stress helps to restore some of your natural color.
