A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...
New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...
Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may also hide a critical, underappreciated source of disease. Scientists are ...
Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...
In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...
For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...
Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...
Scientists can protect children from being born with certain devastating genetic disorders by creating "three-parent" babies, according to the results of a landmark study released Wednesday. British ...
The UK's pioneering licensed IVF technique to reduce the risk of mitochondrial diseases carried out in Newcastle has seen eight babies born, research shows. All eight babies show no signs of having ...
