Many men find pleasure in building bigger muscles and their female partners enjoy the warmth they bring to a cold bed; ...

Scientists have uncovered a mechanism by which nanoplastics impair brain energy metabolism, offering new clues into environmental contributions to neurodegeneration.

Research suggests creatine supplements could protect against bigger stressors like strokes, making them 30-50% less severe. It may also cushion the blow of mild-to-moderate head injuries. “There’s ...

Trinity College Dublin researchers uncover that nanoplastics damage the mitochondria, and could lead to a rise in ...

When you exercise, your body doesn’t just “burn calories.” It switches between different energy or “training zones” depending ...

NEW YORK, NY (March 26, 2025)--Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria.

Scientists from the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) have discovered how nanoplastics—even smaller than ...

In 1817, a British physician named James Parkinson published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, describing for the first time cases of a neurodegenerative disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease. Today, ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells’ ...

Scraps of DNA discarded by our neurons' power units are being absorbed into our nuclear genome far more frequently than assumed, potentially putting our brains at greater risk of developing ...

Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria. However, surprisingly little is ...
