Background: Tea-oil Camellia within the genus Camellia is renowned for its premium Camellia oil, often described as "Oriental olive oil". So far, only one partial mitochondrial genomes of Tea-oil Camellia have been published (no main Tea-oil Camellia cultivars), and comparative mitochondrial genomic studies of Camellia remain limited.
Results: In this study, we first reconstructed the entire mitochondrial genome of C.

Mitochondrial endonuclease G (EndoG) contributes to chromosomal degradation when it is released from mitochondria during apoptosis. It is presumed to also have a mitochondrial function because EndoG deficiency causes mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the mechanism by which EndoG regulates mitochondrial function is not known.

Background: The transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes (Numts) has been linked to lifespan in non-human species and recently demonstrated to occur in rare instances from one human generation to the next.
Method: Here we investigated numtogenesis dynamics in humans in two ways. First, we quantified Numts in 1,187 post-mortem brain and blood samples from different individuals.

Background: Mitochondria are organelles where energy production takes place via oxidative phosphorylation, thus mitochondrial function influences the organs with large energy consumption, such as the brain. Mitochondria contain their own circular genome (mtDNA), which encodes essential proteins/RNAs involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The maternal inheritance of mtDNA, combined with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) observed in females, suggest mtDNA may have a role in AD.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and Aβ accumulation are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of these pathologies in Down Syndrome associated Alzheimer's Disease (DSAD) is unknown. Decades of research describe a relationship between mitochondrial function and Aβ production.
