Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...

A groundbreaking investigation from the Technical University of Munich has uncovered a crucial link between mitochondrial dysfunction and Crohn’s disease. This revelation could transform the ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

In 2022, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare revised medical service fees, covering genetic testing for mitochondrial diseases under medical insurance plans. The Center for Diagnosis ...

They fall into the following main categories: mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, modulating mitochondrial dynamics, enhancing mitochondrial quality control, potentiating mitochondrial biogenesis, ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

As of 2019, about 4.9 million people globally were living with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease. Scientists are still unclear as to the exact cause of Crohn’s disease, which ...
