DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases. The ...

Yale researchers revealed how vitamin B5 fuels mitochondria, offering new insight into brain and metabolic disorders. The human body produces a molecule from vitamin B5 that plays a crucial role in ...

The AMD pipeline presents opportunities via emerging novel therapies focusing on innovative mechanisms such as gene therapy, mitochondria-targeting peptides, and complement inhibition. Key drugs in ...

Vesugen (KED), a synthetic tripeptide, is being closely examined by researchers for its potential role in vascular biology, cellular ageing, metabolism, and neuroprotection.

Short chains of amino acids promise big breakthroughs in the gym. We asked the experts whether peptide stacking lives up to the hype.

Scientists have found that a protein tied to Alzheimer’s disease may actually strengthen the immune system’s fight against cancer. At first glance, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer seem unrelated.

Research led by the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne reports that misincorporation of ribonucleotides into mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) initiates an inflammatory cascade. Mitochondria ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

From “Wolverine Stacks” to “Vitality Protocols,” biohackers claim these peptide cocktails can heal injuries, boost energy, and reverse aging. Experts warn it may be riskier than it seems. Some ...
