Subjects were enrolled in the Einstein Longevity Genes Project ... further research into how interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA influence aging. The researchers say that ...

Did you know that you have a second genome? Small cellular organelles called mitochondria contain their own circular DNA. What happens to your cells when this DNA mutates? Similar to the nuclear ...

The other approach analyzes mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA. Because mtDNA tends ... is destined to die off; no trace of its genes will pass on to subsequent generations (unless a woman who inherited ...

Some genes are passed on from parent to offspring ... the main form of cytoplasmic inheritance in animals is via mitochondrial DNA, which is known as mtDNA. The first people to capture images ...

mtDNA is found exclusively within mitochondria and contains just 37 genes, which are largely responsible for energy production. Mutations occur to this DNA in the same way as DNA found in the ...

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS ... can result in the failure of multiple organ systems. Currently, over 400 genes linked to these diseases have been identified.

Mitochondria, we now know, have many ways to release their DNA into the cytoplasm surrounding ... Retrotransposons, gene fragments that jump from one chromosome to another, trigger inflammation ...

Celtic women’s social and political standing in Iron Age England has received a genetic lift.

Reporting December 20 in Science, researchers led by Huan Ma of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China, describe a tight coupling between neuronal excitation and the transcription ...

Mitochondria are crucial organelles for cellular homeostasis, regulating processes such as ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) management and Ca2+ signaling.

This causes programmed cell death followed by DNA damage—our investigations ... "Our approach targets mitochondria directly, using external genes to activate a process that kills cells.

For example, mice with a defective DNA-replication enzyme called mtDNA ... consumption and that it increased expression of mitochondrial genes in muscle. According to Anurag Singh, the chief ...
