Mitochondria-mediated apoptosis occurs in response to a wide range of death stimuli, including activation of tumor suppressor proteins (such as p53) and oncogenes (such as c-Myc), DNA damage ...
A support foundation has been set up by a family in Cornwall whose son died within a month of being diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease. Noah Jordan, who was nine months old, died in March ...
Collective malfunction in different parts of the cell eventually leads to cell death. Emerging studies have linked imbalances in mitochondrial processes to different neurodegenerative diseases ...
Mitochondria are also involved in other tasks, such as signaling, regulation of cellular metabolism, and cell death. Mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) works by recruiting a secondary protein ...
