Science in 60 breaks down the latest research at Whitehead Institute through one-minute explainers. In this video, Gayathri Muthukumar discusses how the outer mitochondrial membrane, which is a hub for signaling proteins, helps regulate mitochondrial functions.
In this video, Siniša Hrvatin discusses his lab's work on the relationship between states of dormancy, such as daily torpor or hibernation, and aging.
Much of biology becomes more clear when looking at biological components within the context of their typical surroundings and interactions. This is why Whitehead Institute researchers often tackle the challenge of studying a biological process within its larger context. These efforts provide new insights into individual biological components, the interplay between them, and the ways in which only a deeply interconnected ecosystem of cells and signals can give rise to a complex living organism.
Whitehead Institute researchers are making discoveries that are helping us rethink what we know about the brain and paving the way for therapies to treat some of the most challenging brain disorders and diseases.
Researchers at Whitehead Institute are breathing new life into the study of rejuvenation, the ability of cells to repair and replenish tissues — and potentially learning how to slow or reverse the changes our cells experience over time.
