The MITOL protein has been implicated in Parkinson's disease. Read More
Findings from a mouse model study reveal Miro2 functions as a platform for Parkin translocation and damaged mitochondrial clearance. Read More
Mouse models of DiGeorge/22q1 Deletion Syndrome reveal a connection between mitochondrial dysfunction, deficits in cortical connectivity and cognitive impairments. Function was restored through antioxidant therapy. Read More
Mitochondrial function may help explain the link between intelligence, general health and aging. Read More
Two different parts to the BAX protein can bind to BH3-only, and these sites function at different stages of BAX activation. When BH3-only binds to one of the regions, BAX becomes able to damage mitochondria. Read More
Increasing levels of the MFN1 protein counterbalances mutated MFN2, reducing symptoms associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and neurodegeneration in mouse models. Read More
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. Read More
Researchers report dysfunctional mitophagy may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. When mitophagy is improved, symptoms of Alzheimer's almost disappeared in animal models of the disease. Read More
Researchers depression and anxiety alters energy metabolism in the brain. Read More
Scientific research is helping to unlock the secrets behind why some people live to become super-agers. Researchers propose ways in which we can slow the aging process and extend our life spans. Read More
Researchers report the ability to use sugar as food varies strongly between closely related species. The study identifies a genetic basis for this variation and could shed light on how human populations with different dietary histories may respond differently to modern, sugar rich diets. Read More
