The mitochondrial protein COX7RP may increase healthspan in mice, a new study reports.

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 ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

Maintaining long-term health has become a major challenge, driving research into ways to extend “healthspan” rather than ...

Researchers investigated the role of one cellular mechanism in improving physical fitness by exercise training and identified one anti-aging intervention that delayed the declines that occur with ...

The evidence is amassing that alterations in brain energy metabolism are the first cause of all psychiatric disorders, from anxiety to schizophrenia, autism to Alzheimer’s disease. The metabolic ...

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells. But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production.

A collaborative team of researchers from the National Institute for Basic Biology, the University of Tokyo, and Gunma University in Japan reported that in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, the ...

Proven to protect against a wide array of diseases, exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science. However, while physical activity can improve health during aging, its ...

As life expectancy continues to climb globally, the focus of many people has moved from longevity alone to living in good ...
