Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...
For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...
Mitochondria fuel your muscles, immune system and cellular repair – and their performance affects everything from fitness to ...
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 new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome. Gently extracting a single mitochondrion from within a ...
Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...
Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...
Human pain, it turns out, is not just a product of modern stress or injury, but a legacy written deep into our DNA. New ...
