Qinghua Zhou of the University of Colorado and colleagues examined the C. elegans cells using electron microscopy and tomography, finding that the paternal mitochondria started to self-destruct even ...

"We've discovered what could be described as a 'mitochondrial epigenetic clock ... A key finding of the study was that ...

For a long time, many researchers believed that Alzheimer’s is caused by the build-up of a sticky protein called amyloid-beta ...

High-resolution images of C. elegans germline mitochondria are arranged in a pattern resembling a flower pistil, representing the researchers’ artistic interpretation of a new research ...

Our findings demonstrate that mitochondria dynamics do not regulate apoptosis activation in C. elegans and reveal distinct roles for drp-1 and fis-2 as mediators of cell-death execution downstream of ...

Chinese Academy of Sciences geneticist Ye Tian and her colleagues had previously found that a signaling molecule called Wnt is involved in the neuronal response to mitochondrial stress. Working with C ...

"Importantly, many of the changes that we see in C. elegans exposed to stiffer substrates—including increased survival, ...
