Gulf War illness (GWI), a chronic fatigue condition affecting veterans, is linked to genetic variants in mitochondrial DNA.

An analysis of tissue samples from nearly 1,200 older adults found that the more insertions individuals had, the younger they died.

The mitochondrial genome is the full genetic complement of a mitochondrion. Mitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the total DNA of a eukaryotic cell and in most species is solely inherited ...

A first-of-its kind study by researchers at University of California San Diego has revealed that Gulf War illness (GWI), a ...

Discover promising biotech candidates and groundbreaking research offering new hope for treating mitochondrial diseases.

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also -- in a particular subset of T cells -- cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, researchers ...

Mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the nucleus, the study found, where the DNA becomes integrated into the cells' chromosomes. And these insertions may be causing harm ...

University of South Alabama researchers are helping to pave the way for artificial mitochondria creation.Dr. Mikhail Alexeyev ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Maastricht University have developed a technique that enables the examination of embryos for all known genetic abnormalities with a single test. The new ...

The ideal scenario would be if both the target and reference species are from the same family or genus, as this would improve the quality of the mitochondrial database by improving the probability of ...

Beth Shapiro, 48, the chief scientific officer for American company Colossal Biosciences, hopes to use DNA samples recovered ...
