In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death.

Stem cells sent to the ISS return with signs of accelerated aging, revealing key risks for future space travel.
