The Great Mitochondrial Replacement - MitoWorld
Cytotoxic T cells are vital for eliminating cancer cells and thus for restraining tumour growth. However, many types of cancer cell blunt this immune attack by issuing signals that somehow cripple the...
Can cancer hijack your immune system - #mitochondria first?
New research reveals a striking mechanism of immune evasion: cancer cells can transfer defective mitochondria into cytotoxic T cells, impairing their energy production and killing ability.

MitoCast: Craig Thompson
New research from Dr Craig Thompson reveals that mitochondria do more than generate energy - they form specialized subpopulations under stress, playing a key role in cancer cell survival.
Will this discovery could reshape our understanding of metabolism and disease treatment?

Mitochondrial DNA Fragments (Numts) Insert Into Our Genome Sometimes With Serious Results - MitoWorld
The article “Jumping ‘Numts’ from Mitochondria Can Be Fast and Deadly” by Martin Picard, published online in Scientific American on January 3, 2025, sheds new light on a significant biological phenome...
Research teams led by Martin Picard at Columbia University and Ryan Mills at the University of Michigan have found that mtDNA fragments - known as nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (numts) - integrate into the nuclear genome at a high rate.
We interviewed Martin Picard to learn more about Numts:
