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

To overcome current cell model limitations, bit.bio have developed a new, innovative technology to reprogram human stem cells with precise control of transcription factor expression through iPSC engineering.

As detailed in a separate post, bit.bio have developed a novel cellular reprogramming technology, opti-ox™¹ (optimized inducible overexpression), that can generate functional cells with high consistency

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

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
