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 ...

"Longevity science" is on the come up—and "mitochondria" appears to be its newest mascot. The cell's energy-producing center is the talk of TikTok, wellness clinics and newsletters focused on ...

Scientists have long wondered why animals get the DNA inside their mitochondria, the cell's energy center, only from their mothers. New research explains why and offers hope for treating mitochondrial ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

The energy factories in our cells contain their own genes, and genetic mutations in them can cause deadly inherited diseases. These oblong-shaped organelles, or mitochondria, translate genes into ...

Millions of people worldwide live with mitochondrial diseases. These are inherited conditions that make it hard for the body’s cells to produce energy. For a long time, patients had few options ...

We could be a step closer to “recharging aging tissues” in humans, which would be a game changer for modern medicine. This is the welcome discovery of scientists at Texas A&M University who may have ...
