CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

Cancer cells transfer mitochondria through nanotubes to healthy neighboring cells, turning them into tumor-supporting accomplices, a new study shows.

Researchers from Rutgers Health and other institutions have discovered why a powerful leukemia drug eventually fails in most ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful ...

Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful metabolic products constantly stress cancer cells.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as "guardians" of mitochondria, small ...

Kidney damage that seemingly heals appears to mutate the DNA in the mitochondria of kidney cells, making the organ less ...

This landmark event, co-organized by the World Mitochondria Society and the International Society of Microbiota, will spotlight the rapidly evolving science where mitochondrial biology and microbiome ...

Organelles spit out DNA contaminated with damaging components, leading to the activation of inflammatory enzymes, mouse experiments show. Scientists found that, in the cells of ageing mice with kidney ...

The components of cells that provide them with energy may play an unexpected role in sleep. A study in fruit flies suggests that mitochondria in the brain help trigger sleep when they sense that the ...
