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 ...

Some astrocyte-made mitochondria seem to fuse with the neuron’s own mitochondria (yellow, box 3). K. Hayakawa et al/ Nature 2016 Astrocytes produce mitochondria and shunt them out into the soup ...

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 ...

How might microglia in these models affect other cell types? The authors added media from Q73 microglia to mouse primary astrocyte cultures. In response, the astrocytes pumped out TNF-α and IL-1β.

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

Astrocytes are known to promote recovery after ICH by releasing functional mitochondria into adjacent microglia. But, until this study, the role of mitochondrial transfer from astrocytes to ...

Smaller, more circularized mitochondria in glia of RTT cerebral organoids. Credit: Scientific Reports (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-71040-y ...

Glioblastoma cancer cells may use mitochondria from the central nervous system to grow and form more aggressive tumors. genprowebdirectory Facebook Linkedin RSS Twitter Youtube ...

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.
