University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing their metastatic potential. Oncologists have long suspected that tumors thrive ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Chicago have turned an unlikely source into a potential new weapon against cancer: ...

Researchers from the University of Osaka have demonstrated that mitochondrial hyperfusion, when induced by low levels of DRP1 ...

The mitochondria may be the powerhouse of the cell, but mounting evidence suggests this organelle is also a driving force behind cancer. Now, new evidence points to the mitochondrial metabolite ...

A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

Mitochondria have long been known as the tiny organelles that act as the battery packs inside our cells while also serving as internal sensors and communicators. But relatively little is understood ...

Breast cancer, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic targets. Metabolic ...

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 ...

Researchers have learned that the antioxidant glutathione, when operating inside mitochondria, is a key factor enabling tumors to spread from the breast to the lung. The mitochondria may be the ...
