New findings suggest that oxidative stress damages mitochondrial DNA, and they link this damage to a disease state.

Mitochondria not only are the cell’s main power producers, they are also the chief cooks and bottle washers.

A person’s mitochondrial gene “signature” could predict risk for diabetic retinopathy and guide early intervention strategies.

A study of mitochondrial DNA mutations suggests they result from a process that selects for particular mutations in certain tissues.

A zebrafish model of a severe mitochondrial disease will be useful for developing new therapeutic approaches.

Study finds no evidence of increased mitochondrial mutations in the children of women treated with radiation for cancer.

Vanderbilt researchers provide new information about how the genome inside our cellular “power plants” – the mitochondria – has evolved.
