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 ...

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.

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

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.

Mitochondria from Different Brain Cells Have Different Proteins Organelles isolated from two types of neurons and a nonneuronal astrocyte in the mouse cerebellum showed varying levels of proteins, ...

They then found that when rodent astrocytes were mixed with them, they expelled some degree of mitochondrial material—neurons added to the mix were then found to absorb some of the mitochondrial ...
