Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles and important for a variety of cellular functions.
They constantly undergo fission and fusion events, referred to as mitochondrial dynamics …

The mechanisms underlying ageing have been discussed for decades, and advances in
molecular and cell biology of the last three decades have accelerated research in this area …

Significance: The molecular mechanism of aging is still vigorously debated, although a
general consensus exists that mitochondria are significantly involved in this process …

Neurons depend on mitochondrial functions for membrane excitability, neurotransmission,
and plasticity. Mitochondrial dynamics are important for neural cell maintenance. To …

Aging of biological systems is accompanied by degeneration of mitochondrial functions.
Different pathways are active to counteract the processes which lead to mitochondrial …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that results from the
death of upper and lower motor neurons. Due to a lack of effective treatment, it is imperative …

Quantum dots (QDs), also known as semiconductor QDs, have specific
photoelectricproperties which find application in bioimaging, solar cells, and light-emitting …

Centipedes, a type of arthropod, reportedly produce antimicrobial peptides as part of an
innate immune response. Scolopendin (SPSEKAGLQPVGRIGRMLKK) is a novel …

Apoptosis or programmed cell death (PCD) was initially described in metazoans as a
genetically controlled process leading to intracellular breakdown and engulfment by a …

Environmental stress elicits well-orchestrated programs that either restore cellular
