When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory ...

Advanced imaging technology captures translation of the maternal genome. [A. Amunts and D. Nowakowski] Researchers from Finland, Sweden, the U.K., and the U.S. say they have captured ribosomes ...

At the onset of diabetic cardiomyopathy, Trdn-as expression increases, which regulates the methylation of Casq2 mRNA mediated by METTL14, thus increasing the stability and expression of Casq2 mRNA.

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies’ stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

Scientists have taken a closer look at how mitochondria are maintained in nondividing cells, such as neurons, with the ultimate goal of developing a better understanding of how to prevent or treat age ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. A few, however, are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and are produced by the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Disorders of the cells' energy supply can cause a number of serious diseases, but also seem to be connected to ageing. More research is needed on mitochondrial function to find future treatments. A ...

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell, generating the energy that's needed to fuel the functions that our cells carry out. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute and the University of ...
