The paper uses electron microscopy to analyze mitochondrial DNA-containing extracellular vesicles in human biofluids, showing that cf-mtDNA is often associated with double-membrane particles.

This study shows that xylazine and fentanyl co-administration in mice delays wound healing, while neither drug alone does so at tested doses.

This paper shows that GDF15 levels rise with psychosocial stress, depression, anxiety, and biological aging, and that saliva GDF15 has a distinct diurnal pattern and responds rapidly to acute stress.

MitoQuicLy quantifies cf-mtDNA in plasma, serum, and saliva with high agreement to column-based methods, showing significant inter-individual and biofluid-specific differences.

This study measures dynamic changes in cell-free mitochondrial DNA in human saliva and finds it varies significantly over time, correlates with cortisol awakening response, and inversely with interleukin 6.
