An emerging area of research is the evolutionarily conserved transfer of mitochondria between cells. Yet researchers have ...

Targeting mitochondrial retrograde signaling may therefore be promising in the treatment or prevention of metabolic disorders.

"Our results demonstrate that the mitochondria can send signals to the nucleus and change the fate of the cell." The ...

Mitochondrial stress disrupts insulin production in diabetes, but reversing the damage may restore β-cell function.

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function.

"Our results demonstrate that the mitochondria can send signals to the nucleus and change the fate of the cell." The ...

"Though the origins of mitochondria transfer are unclear, it has been observed in evolutionarily diverse eukaryotes, including yeast, mollusks, fish and rodents, as well as human cells. We are ...

New Delhi: Mitochondria, that produce energy for the cell, holds the key to curing diabetes, researchers have learned.

Mitochondrial damage is common in metabolic diseases like Diabetes, affecting insulin production and function in patients. Diabetics’ insulin-producing β-cells have abnormal mitochondria, impairing ...
