This comes after the researchers assessed seropositivity among 1,038 children and adolescents....

- Cellvie Seed Funded to Develop Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapy Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, producing chemical energy store molecules to power cellular processes. They are also embedded deeply into may core functions of the cell, from replication to programmed cell death. Mitochondrial function declines throughout the body with age, for reasons that are likely downstream of other more fundamental damage. Mitochondrial dynamics change in ways that make mitochondria more resilient to removal via mitophagy when worn or broken, and mitophagy itself loses efficiency. This may or may not be connected to mitochondrial DNA damage. It is unclear as to whether the progressive accumulation of mutations...
- Mitochondrial function can play significant part in serious disease Disorders of the cells' energy supply can cause a number of serious diseases, but also seem to be connected to ageing. More research is needed on mitochondrial function to find future treatments. A new study shows how an important molecule inside the mitochondria affects their function in mice and fruit flies. The study adds valuable knowledge on formerly relatively unexplored protein modifications. ...
