Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...

We can all recognise that feeling of muscle fatigue after taking a brisk walk, cycling, running or playing football. Our ability to engage in physical activity for long periods of time is thanks to ...

Which exercise is superior for improving mitochondrial functioning? Which exercise results in the most dramatic positive ...

Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved high-resolution visualization of cellular organelles, such as nuclei and ...

The brain requires continuously high energy production to maintain ion gradients and normal function. Mitochondria critically undergird brain energetics, and mitochondrial abnormalities feature ...

Blocking fatty ceramides could stop acute kidney injury—and possibly revolutionize mitochondrial disease treatment.

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling ...

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