The pig’s heart was graying rapidly, so McCully decided to try it. He loaded a syringe with the extracted mitochondria and ...

Neurons can release damaged mitochondria and transfer them to astrocytes for disposal and recycling 1. This ability to exchange mitochondria may represent a potential mode of cell-to-cell ...

Mitochondria transplantation shows promise in treating heart, brain, and organ damage, sparking new research and potential ...

GIFT GIVER Star-shaped astrocytes (green) may donate mitochondria to nerve cells in distress, helping the brain escape damage from stroke and possibly other maladies, a new study suggests. Lka ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing ...

This means that the effects of Rett syndrome on astrocytes have a direct effect on neurons: the dysfunctional mitochondria from the astrocytes end up in the neurons, where they cause damage.

24 Sep 2019 Mitochondrial fragments, jettisoned by stressed cells, create trouble for other cells, according to a study in the September 23 Nature Neuroscience. Researchers led by Daria Mochly-Rosen ...

New research shows that when mitochondria are transplanted from astrocytes to damaged neurons after a brain hemorrhage, they stimulate the production of a free-radical-fighting enzyme, manganese ...

Glioblastoma cancer cells may use mitochondria from the central nervous system to grow and form more aggressive tumors.

These mitochondria were taken up and degraded by adjacent astrocytes, the most abundant form of glial cell in the vertebrate nervous system and the only cell which bridges between nerve cells and ...

Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that surround neurons, providing insulation and support—prior studies have shown that they are involved in carrying out removal of dead material.
