Researchers have discovered six proteins that could help us to better understand how we age and could also potentially unlock new insights into a range of aging related diseases.
Researchers report a collapse of the mitochondria-associated membrane is a common halmark in two genetic forms of ALS.
Mitochondrial function may help explain the link between intelligence, general health and aging.
An experimental small molecule helped restore the removal of mitochondria from dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The findings may help in the development of new therapies for Parkinson's disease.
According to researchers, children with ASD have more harmful mitochondrial mutations than their family members.
A new study reports mitochondrial changes may be important risk factors for identifying those with autism spectrum disorders.
Neurons can counteract degeneration and promote survival by adapting their metabolism.
Researchers report amnesia caused by cannabinoids relies on the activation of the CB1 receptor in mitochondria in the hippocampus.
Cardiff University researchers report a molecule in a common medication used to treat tapeworm has shown to be effective in enhancing the PINK1 protein and slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease.
Researchers report finding greater rates of mitochondrial mutations in the offspring of older mothers, as well as the mothers themselves.
A new study reports the interaction between a mitochondrial protein called TOM20 and alpha-synuclein leads to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have identified a protein embedded in the surface of mitochondria that opens the door to cell death.
