Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are associated with a variety of pathologies, and the onset and progression of disease are accompanied by alterations in extracellular biochemical and mechanical signals.

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Your brain is a metabolically fierce organ, punching way above its weight of two pounds to consume 20 to 25 percent of the body’s fuel supply. The brain’s energy-making machinery, centered in ...
