Scientists look at mitochondria for their anti-aging potential on muscles
Muscle loss, known scientifically as sarcopenia, is a disease associated with the aging process. This condition causes a loss of muscle mass and strength, which eventually leads to a loss of balance, a weakened ability to perform daily tasks, and an overall decrease in the general quality of one’s life. Thankfully, new evidence suggests that […]

Loving their children on a cellular level: Egg cells “choose” healthy cell components to pass to the next generation
Mothers really do want only the best for their kids. In a recent study published in Nature, researchers found that a developing ovum tests each mitochondrion, and selects only the healthiest to be passed to the next generation. A mitochondrion is an organelle that converts food into energy and drives cellular activity. Often referred to in […]

Researchers identify protein that can protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common diseases in developed countries. Statistics show that about 25 percent of the world’s population suffer from this disease. As its name implies, NAFLD is not caused by excessive alcohol consumption; it is characterized by too much fat stored in liver cells. Patients with NAFLD are […]

How does metabolism affect aging? Scientists study worms to find out
The metabolic flux of a minuscule worm called Caenorhabditis elegans might hold the key to human aging. Researchers came up with a model of the metabolism of C. elegans that offered a better understanding of the relationship between aging and metabolism. Metabolism turns food into energy that powers cellular processes. It also supplies the building blocks that the organism needs […]

Study: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) may prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease may be one of the most fearsome health conditions common among the elderly. Imagine gradually losing your memory while your body weakens. But the risk of Alzheimer’s may be a thing of the past as pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a micronutrient in plants, has been found to have the ability to halt the progress […]

Chemotherapy revealed as toxic poison for every living cell in the human body: Mitochondrial dysfunction warning from researchers
Chemotherapy is not medicine; it is not a therapy at all. A new study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology lambastes chemotherapy for causing mitochondrial dysfunction in patients’ muscles. This is not some simple side effect. This is a direct debilitating effect inflicted on patients, a condition that causes fatigue, weakness, oxidative stress, […]

Antioxidants found to be effective in treating mitochondrial disease, preclinical trials find
In search of mitochondrial disease treatments, researchers found that some antioxidant compounds could be effective in treating mitochondrial disease. In their study, the researchers examined seven antioxidant compounds in two animal models of mitochondrial disease: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) and the worm species Caenorhabditis elegans. In addition, they used cultures of fibroblasts or skin cells obtained […]

Calcium imbalance in the brain linked to Alzheimer’s
According to research published early in 2017, calcium in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), could be “one of the keys to understanding and treating Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.” A group of scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Temple University has revealed that they determined how “an imbalance of calcium ions in the mitochondria […]

The public is being mass poisoned by antiseptic chemicals in shampoos, lotions, eye drops and mouthwash
Fond of using commercial-grade cleaning products at home? Be cautious! Antiseptic chemicals found in common household products weaken mitochondria and hinder estrogenic functions in cells, a new in-vitro study concluded. Researchers from the University of California, Davis surveyed a collection of 1,600 compounds and drugs in household and pharmaceutical use, with mitochondrial function, and found that […]

Yale researchers add “reduction of hearing loss” to the many benefits of NAC supplements
The average human body contains approximately 30 trillion cells. These cells are like miniature living organisms; their inner parts carry out vital functions that determine the cell’s destiny. If the cell is overwhelmed by reactive oxygen species, then it may weaken and experience apoptosis. Beyond the cell membrane or skin of the cell is a […]
