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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from the United States of America investigated how cells separate competing metabolic pathways within mitochondria, namely oxidative phosphorylation ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to supercharge lung cancer treatment by transplanting healthy mitochondria into tumors, which both boosts immune response and makes chemotherapy far more effective. By ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

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 ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

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 paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...
