Study finds ‘supercharging’ T cells with mitochondria enhances their antitumor activity

Mitochondria release segments of mitochondrial DNA that can travel through pores of the nucleus and integrate into a cell's chromosomes (where the insertions are called NUMTs, for nuclear mitochochondrial segments). A new study has found that nuclear mitochondrial DNA insertion—once thought rare—happens in the human brain likely several times over during a person’s lifespan.

Mitochondria are flinging their DNA into our brain cells

In 2016, researchers supported by FAPESP had shown that tegu lizards reach higher temperatures than the burrows they inhabit in spring. This new study has found a physiological explanation for the phenomenon
