Mitochondria keep cells "healthy" in their environment. In this post, we'll take a look at a new fluorescent assay for the monitoring of mitophagy, a process aimed at clearing damaged or superfluous mitochondria

Research tools aimed at exploring mitochondria are becoming more and more popular and cover multiple experimental applications. They go from primary antibodies validated for immuno-assays (see 

Due to its involvement in many cellular processes such as normal ageing, tumor suppression, chronic diseases and many more, cellular senescence has gained increasing attention since its first description

Involved in many physiological processes (apoptosis, aging, cell signalling..) and numerous diseases (cardiovascular disorders, to cancer and neuro-degenerative diseases…), Mitochondria have become more

The immune system, responsible for fighting off infections and diseases, refers to multiple biological processes that have different functions and contributions to the immune system and its response to

All human and living beings have mitochondria. These are tiny cellular organisms present in nearly every cell of an individual. They are located more precisely inside the cells, in their nucleus. The main

The microbiota is the set of microbial organisms in a community, generally used in reference to an animal host. The digestive microbiota is the most common.

What we call a microbiome is the set of microorganisms

Senescence atlas reveals an aged-like inflamed niche that blunts muscle regeneration

In their latest publication in Nature, Dr. Moiseeva et.al., studied cellular senescence in skeletal muscle, carrying

Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitochondria-Lysosome Contacts in Neurogenetic Diseases

In an article published in frontiers in Neuroscience, with the aim to study cellular phenotypes in fibroblasts from

Understanding cellular senescence and oxygen consumption rate

A recent paper published in Science reported a 50% reduction in mortality and improved immune response in old mice infected with SARS-CoV-2

Relationship between antitumor effects and active oxygen

ROS (Reactive oxygen species) are highly reactive oxygen species mainly generated during the ATP synthesis process in mitochondria. While it is
