An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Dr. Bent Brachvogel has examined how mitochondria influence the premature ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO 2 and water—a ...

Mitochondria age differently depending upon whether they’re located in the liver, heart, or kidney, scientists find in flies and mice. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant ...

Purdue University scientists have identified the Supinoxin molecule as a possible new therapy for small cell lung cancer.

Researchers at the University of Cologne found that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to early skeletal aging by disrupting cartilage metabolism. The study identified maladaptive metabolic shifts, ...

Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide. Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight ...

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

It delivers oxygen and glucose to the tissues for respiration, which is the release of energy to cells. This video is about how arteries carry blood away from the heart. Find out more about GCSE ...
