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.

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 ...

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’ ...

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 ...
