A new study shows how failing mitochondria and rising oxidative stress may set off key steps in Parkinson’s disease.

For decades, scientists have known that mitochondria, which produce energy inside our cells, malfunction in Parkinson's ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which the protein DELE1 detects organelle stress. This offers a possible new approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases. LMU researchers have ...

Prokaryotes are ancient, simple forms of life that include bacteria and archaea. These cellular life forms lack membrane-bound organelles. Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the ...
