Scientists literally are shining a light on cancer cells’ energy centers to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study “mLumiOpto Is a Mitochondrial-Targeted ...

Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor microenvironments (TMEs) can drain their mitochondrial activity, leading to a condition known as T-cell exhaustion, which ultimately can result ...

Researchers from Japan, discover mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells to immune cells and metabolic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment as a key immune evasion strategy. Targeting ...

A light-induced gene therapy can damage cancer cells’ mitochondria, triggering widespread cancer cell death. Researchers at Ohio State University (OH, USA) have developed a light-induced gene therapy ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Scientists are supercharging T cells with multipotent stromal cells’ mitochondria to make them more ferocious invaders of the tumor microenvironment. An international collaboration between researchers ...

Human cells have two copies of each chromosome, and this balance is essential for genes to be expressed in the appropriate ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell’s “power plants.” These small kidney-bean-shaped structures are what convert nutrients from food into ATP — the cell’s ...

Cancer expert Dr Thomas Seyfried says preventing cancer cell growth involves cutting off their fuel supply: glucose and ...

The powerhouse of the cell may be a key to longevity. The mitochondria, perhaps better known as the powerhouses of cells, are ...

When Simon Grelet, PhD, joined the University of South Alabama, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2021, he launched the Cancer Innervation and Neurobiology Laboratory at the Mitchell ...
