Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition. Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor ...

This resistance raised questions about their specialized function. Previous research has indicated the mitochondrial calcium uniporter’s (MCU) role in coupling neuron activity and mitochondrial ATP ...

Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found ... most likely via protein S-cyanylation. A neuron-specific isoform of PGC-1α is regulated independently from other isoforms and is repressed ...

The hormone insulin controls many cellular processes and adapts them to the body's current energy supply. One of the ...

It will give researchers access to the resources and chemistry expertise on compounds that could offer viable mitochondrial therapies for neurodegenerative diseases including motor neuron disease (MND ...

In 2004, Hans-Hermann Gerdes’ group from the University of Heidelberg discovered open-ended, membrane-enclosed channels between neuron-like cells, called tunneling nanotubes ... As aggregate ...

The middle piece is packed with mitochondria to release energy needed to swim and fertilise the egg. The tail enables the sperm to swim. The nerve cell is extended, so that nerves can run to and ...
