Endurance exercise rescues progeroid aging and induces systemic mitochondrial rejuvenation in mtDNA mutator mice [Medical Sciences] 09/03/2011 10:09:19A causal role for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutagenesis in mammalian aging is supported by recent studies demonstrating that the mtDNA mutator mouse, harboring a defect in the proo...
Exploiting the mitochondrial unfolded protein response for cancer therapy in mice and human cells. 04/03/2011 04:31:21Fine tuning of the protein folding environment in subcellular organelles, such as mitochondria, is important for adaptive homeostasis and may participate in human diseases, but the...
Listeria monocytogenes transiently alters mitochondrial dynamics during infection [Cell Biology] 02/03/2011 05:48:35Mitochondria are essential and highly dynamic organelles, constantly undergoing fusion and fission. We analyzed mitochondrial
dynamics during infection with the human bacter...
Metabolic regulation by p53 01/03/2011 10:12:00We are increasingly aware that cellular metabolism plays a vital role in diseases such as cancer, and that p53 is an important regulator of metabolic pathways. By transcriptional a...
Estresse oxidativo mitocondrial provoca fragmentação mitocondrial através da modulação diferencial de proteínas mitocondriais fissão / fusão 17/01/2011 03:44:16Mitochondria are dynamic organelles with continual fusion and fission to maintain their morphology and functions, but the mechanism involved is still not clear. Here, we investigat...
Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autism 01/12/2010 04:54:34Context Impaired mitochondrial function may influence processes highly dependent on energy, such as neurodevelopment, and contribute to autism. No studies have evaluated mitochond...

SIRT3 in Calorie Restriction: Can You Hear Me Now? 01/12/2010 04:40:55Caloric restriction decreases oxidative damage and extends life span in many organisms. Someya et al. (2010) show that the sirtuin SIRT3 mediates the protective effects of caloric ...
Microbiota intestinal e sua possível relação com a obesidade 17/11/2010 08:47:08Obesity results from alterations in the body’s regulation of energy
intake, expenditure, and storage. Recent evidence, primarily from
investigations in animal models, suggests th...
