Researchers uncovered how fatty molecules called ceramides trigger acute kidney injury by damaging the mitochondria that ...

If the drug works in people, it could prevent kidney injury in high-risk populations, or potentially even treat other ...

Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to ...

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, ...

Ultrafine particles, UFPs, the smallest contributors to air pollution, hinder the function of mitochondria in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. Led by the University of Eastern Finland, ...
