This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Scientists at Scripps Research published findings that demonstrate how a mitochondrial protein structure is necessary to activate the cell’s integrated stress response (ISR), which is a critical ...

Dr. Tian Liu’s research focuses on elucidating the roles of mitochondrial function in human aging-related diseases and health using genetic and multi-omics (i.e., proteomics and metabolomics) ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of ...

The brain requires continuously high energy production to maintain ion gradients and normal function. Mitochondria critically undergird brain energetics, and mitochondrial abnormalities feature ...

Which exercise is superior for improving mitochondrial functioning? Which exercise results in the most dramatic positive ...

We all learned in high school biology that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. But powering up those cellular engines requires a molecular spark. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have ...

Anxiety disorders affect millions of people worldwide, with about 14% experiencing an anxiety disorder in any given year. These conditions are often disabling, and current treatments don’t work well ...

If the drug works in people, it could prevent kidney injury in high-risk populations, or potentially even treat other ...
