A new study reveals that a buildup of metabolism in specialized brain cells is what triggers the need for sleep. Sleep may ...

Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production. These organs ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP—the ...

The mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, plays a surprising role in diet and health since its function in energy production directly influences body metabolism, that are also involved in ...

Macrophages are part of the immune system's frontline; they attack and "eat" invaders to protect surrounding cells. They, ...

Researchers from Inserm and the University of Bordeaux, in collaboration with the University of Moncton, have developed an ...

Why does mitochondria function decline? When mitochondria are producing energy, they get damaged because of the reactive oxygen species that are created during this process.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Researchers have found that dietary interventions may fight obesity by boosting mitochondrial function in certain key cells, thereby lowering systemic inflammation.

Metformin boosts human oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination across stem-cell, organoid, and chimera models. The study links these effects to mitochondrial metabolic shifts, supporting its ...
