Only about 50 Apennine brown bears remain in the wild, and new research sheds light on a key challenge to their survival. The ...

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

A research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

In an article published in the journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Alicia Kowaltowski, full professor at the University ...

A new study reveals that Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) plays a crucial role in protein quality control, preventing harmful protein ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have identified how mitochondrial dysfunction impairs insulin-producing pancreatic ...

Researchers from Cologne, Bochum, Padova and Angers have discovered a novel connection between mitochondrial function, protein quality control and cellular health, whose failure could be the leading ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well ...

BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs derived from both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are identified in animal cells.

Older brain cells forget who they are, according to a breakthrough study conducted by the University of Innsbruck and ...

Thousands of single changes in the nucleotides that make up the human genome have been associated with an increased risk of ...
