Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic capacity of neurons can enhance long-term memory in both fruit flies and ...

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are associated with a variety of pathologies, and the onset and progression of disease are accompanied by alterations in extracellular biochemical and mechanical signals.

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
