Journal ArticleDOI
A Mitochondrial Paradigm of Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases, Aging, and Cancer: A Dawn for Evolutionary Medicine
TL;DR: The mitochondria provide a direct link between the authors' environment and their genes and the mtDNA variants that permitted their forbears to energetically adapt to their ancestral homes are influencing their health today.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial diseases in man and mouse.
TL;DR: The essential role of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in cellular energy production, the generation of reactive oxygen species, and the initiation of apoptosis has suggested a number of novel mechanisms for mitochondrial pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial DNA mutation associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy
Douglas C. Wallace,Gurparkash Singh,Marie T. Lott,Judy A. Hodge,Theodore G. Schurr,Angela M. S. Lezza,Louis J. Elsas,Eeva K. Nikoskelainen +7 more
TL;DR: This finding demonstrated that a nucleotide change in a mitochondrial DNA energy production gene can result in a neurological disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Neonatal Lethality in Mutant Mice Lacking Manganese Superoxide Dismutase
Yibing Li,Ting-Ting Huang,Elaine J. Carlson,Simon Melov,Philip C. Ursell,Jean L. Olson,Linda Noble,Midori P. Yoshimura,Christoph N. Berger,Christoph N. Berger,Pak H. Chan,Douglas C. Wallace,Charles J. Epstein +12 more
TL;DR: Cytochemical analysis revealed a severe reduction in succinate dehydrogenase and aconitase activities in the heart and, to a lesser extent, in other organs, which indicates that MnSOD is required for normal biological function of tissues by maintaining the integrity of mitochondrial enzymes susceptible to direct inactivation by superoxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondria and cancer
TL;DR: Cancer cells then reprogramme adjacent stromal cells to optimize the cancer cell environment and activate out-of-context programmes that are important in development, stress response, wound healing and nutritional status.
