This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...

Ancient bacteria that have evolved to become integral to our cells—converting nutrients from food into energy—may also contribute to neurologic disorders, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and ...

Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy, achieving the safe and efficient transplantation of healthy mitochondria into cells and ...

Guernsey Motor Neurone charity donates £30,000 to support a three-year university project.

Research led by Shannon Farris, an assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, found a mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons, like those highlighted ...

As axonal mitochondria are lost, changes in the subunits of eIF2 are seen which hamper translation and autophagy and cause the accumulation of proteins in cells. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...
