Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...
In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a causative role in Crohn's disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. This can happen for a variety of ...
Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...
Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...
In most cases, the damage is linked to mutations in the OPA1 gene, which interfere with mitochondrial function (how cells make energy and stay healthy). New research led by Thomas Schwarz, Ph.D., and ...
This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists may influence neurodegenerative disease biology through metabolic, ...

Yeast enzyme helps human cells beat mitochondrial defects
Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...
