Scientists have uncovered a mechanism by which nanoplastics impair brain energy metabolism, offering new clues into environmental contributions to neurodegeneration.

Scientists from the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) have discovered how nanoplastics—even smaller than microplastics—disrupt energy metabolism in brain cells. Their findings may have ...

A novel treatment for Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare genetic disease that can lead to sudden loss of ...

Mitochondria are essential organelles that drive energy production, regulate apoptosis and orchestrate metabolic signalling within cells. Their dynamic nature underpins processes as diverse as ATP ...

Brian Cunniff, an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Vermont, will discuss how the subcellular positioning of mitochondria regulates gene-expression patterns ...

When doctors prescribe oxybutynin, it's usually for an unglamorous problem: bladder incontinence. But researchers have ...

Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy metabolism by converting nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. Beyond energy production, these organelles ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by excessive bone loss, leading to increased fragility and an ...
