Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

You might know them as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but that’s selling mitochondria short—these microscopic MVPs play a role in almost everything that makes you healthy. With the right lifestyle ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

I always wanted to understand life. What moves us? What allows us to heal and thrive? And what goes wrong when we get sick or when we eventually stop breathing and die? My search for answers to these ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome. Gently ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing. Psychological and social experiences shape the brain, potentially leading ...

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 ...
