Children with mitochondrial problems had a lower immune response to viral
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
In recent research, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that infants with mitochondrial abnormalities had altered B cell activity, which led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral infections. The study, published in Frontiers in Immunology, was

Omega-3 oil counteracts toxic effects of pesticides in pollinators: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to new research, using an omega-3 rich oil known as "ahiflower oil" helps protect honey bee mitochondria from neonicotinoid pesticide damage. Hichem Menail, a PhD student at the Universite de Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada, carried out this research as part of a larger project.

Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
This process of "programmed cell death" often goes wrong in cancer. Damaged mitochondria can also undergo a form of "self-eating" termed mitophagy that prevents them from sending "death signals."

Study finds mitochondrial mutations in single cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag

Molecular mechanism involved in development of type 2 diabetes: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
The study has described --in patients and animal model samples of type 2 diabetes-- a decrease in mitochondrial proteins that synthesize complex subunits of the respiratory chain. This decrease in proteins is associated with an increase in intracellular nitric oxide which, according to the r

Researchers discover therapeutic target to aid glaucoma treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A damaged optic nerve underlies the neurodegenerative illness glaucoma, which results in visual loss and eventual blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 2,00,000 persons in the United States annually. Regrettably, there is no cure at this time. Researchers discovered that neurons use mitochon

Updated : 3 years ago IST
Neural stem cells that are quiescent or latent in some parts of the adult brain may one day become active and create new neurons. Yet, nothing is currently known about the change from quiescence to proliferation.
