Tag: Mitochondrial Transfer

A recent study saw researchers associated with Cellvie demonstrate significant improvements to mitochondria and muscle function in aged mice by injecting additional mitochondria [1]. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a reason we age Why We Age: Mitochondrial DysfunctionAs they age, the mitochondria in our cells lose their ability to provide cellular energy and release reactive oxygen species...

In a review published in Nature, researchers have explained how and why cells transfer mitochondria to one another, proposing that this transfer allows organisms to be more resilient against energy deficiencies. A relatively recent discovery It was not until 2006 when a team of researchers realized that mitochondria were not restricted to their cellular environments, as...

The mitochondria are an important target in aging, as their age-related dysfunction is thought to be a reason we age. These tiny power stations living in our cells do a wonderful job producing energy and keeping us alive, but, as we age, they become increasingly dysfunctional and that supports the onset of various age-related diseases....
