Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the farthest reaches of the dendrites of neurons—at the outermost synaptic input ...

H uman brains grow extraordinarily slowly—a trait many neuroscientists speculate is related to our distinctive intellect. But how and why a human neuron takes years to grow when a mouse neuron grows ...

They mapped the mitochondrial structure in CA2 neuron dendrites of both control and MCU-depleted mice at high spatial resolution with extreme precision over millimeter expanses of tissue. The analysis ...

Mitochondrial signals alter the expression of more than 66 percent of genes in the ... Glucose has to traverse a number of hurdles before getting to neuron mitochondria—it detours through ...

We have investigated the role of mitochondrial calcium buffering in excitotoxic cell death. Glutamate acts at NMDA receptors in cultured rat forebrain neurons to increase the intracellular free ...

Re-energizing mitochondria to treat Alzheimer's disease Scripps Research team restored neuron-to-neuron connections in human cells. Date: January 29, 2024 ...

Proper neuron development especially requires mitochondria to be in the right place at the right time. ... Mitochondrial dysfunction is present in the vast majority of children and adults with autism.

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...
