Both are indispensable to human beings and closely related to life and death. This article discusses the similarities in various aspects between mitochondria and Yang Qi, including body temperature, aging, newborns, circadian rhythm, immunity, and meridian. It is well-known that Yang Qi is vital ...
Skin is the largest organ with high turnover rate in the human body. Mitochondria play a vital role in the skin. Mitochondrial dysfunction induces skin aging. Skin disorders manifest mitochondrial dysfunction. Targeting mitochondria may help rejuvenate skin. Open Questions How do mitochondria regulate...
Yet the role of mitochondria in human life and death has been overlooked for over four decades in the legal and bioethical literature, which has focused instead on processes at the whole-organism level. Challenges remain however: if brain death and bodily death are not biologically equivalent, ...
Many chronic disorders are caused by the generation of mitochondrial ROS, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and sulfur dioxide species (SOS) in the human body119. Thus, to understand and detect characteristics (e.g., concentration, lifetime, species, etc.) of ROS, RNS and SOS, the development...
Mitochondria play a central role in various critical cellular processes, including energy synthesis, energy supply and apoptosis. Panax notoginseng, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, has various pharmacological effects on the human body. Ginsenosides are representative bioactive components of P....
Researchers have successfully transplanted the genetic material in the nucleus of a fertilized human egg into another fertilized egg, without carrying over mitochondria, the energy-producing structures of the cell. The technique could be used to prevent babies from inheriting diseases caused by mutations...
in length. Their extreme dendrite/cell-body/axon polarization and their large soma make these neurons highly demanding in energy to function properly. It was estimated that the anterograde transport of one vesicle along the 1 m long axon of a human motoneuron requires approximately 1.25 ×...
Table 1 The role of mitochondria in sarcopenia (in-vivo study in human and animal) Full size table Mitochondrial morphology in mature myofibres is divided into two distinct but interconnected species, each with its size and morphological parameters. In adult muscle fibres, sub-sarcolemma (SSM) an...
SDT can effectively penetrate deep tumor lesions in human body. Show abstract Mitochondrion, lysosome, and endoplasmic reticulum: Which is the best target for phototherapy? 2022, Journal of Controlled Release Citation Excerpt : In addition, the mitochondrial targeting of DSPE-PEG-Ce6 might be ...
4.1. The role of mitochondria in the epigenetic embedding of information In order for a complex system like the human body to adapt, stress signals from the environment must be transduced into both short- and long-term biological changes that modify cellular composition and functions. A fundamental...
