While classically, we think of astrocytes as being principally glycolytic, in fact astrocytes possess significant capacity for oxidative (mitochondrial) metabolism. Mitochondria are indeed found ...

These cells, and the cells which surround and support them, astrocytes, are particularly reliant on mitochondria to maintain energy and other important chemical balances including crucial ...

Glial cells, which include astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes, were found to have higher mitochondrial gene expression associated with positive psychosocial experiences. This means that ...

Current projects include the generation and termination of calcium signals in astrocytes, and regulation and role of astrocytic mitochondria in synaptic development and maintenance. In Vivo Two-Photon ...
