Scientists have known that this mitochondrial DNA, known as mtDNA, can escape into our cells and cause inflammation ... "Using our cutting-edge imaging tools for probing mitochondria dynamics and ...

"We discovered that DNMT3A and TET2 mutations prevent their ability to bind and activate the TFAM gene, Missing or reducing this binding activity leads to mitochondrial DNA release and overactive ...

Mitochondrial disease can be inherited through mutations in DNA that specifically affect mitochondrial function. About 50 Australian children are born every year with mitochondrial disease.

Investigations into a little-known compound reveal clues about how improved mitochondria function could help stave off some of the effects of aging This article was produced for Amazentis by ...

Most of their DNA comes from their two parents and around 0.1% from a third, donor woman. The pioneering technique is an attempt to prevent children being born with devastating mitochondrial diseases.

Using sequencing techniques, researchers associated 51 mutations in mitochondrial DNA with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable degenerative neurological disorder that leads to muscle ...
