Dissecting the role of the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A47

Nadia Bresciani

Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological relevance as gatekee ...

Organisation and dynamics of mitochondria and their RNA.

Timo Henry René Rey

The organisation of molecules into dynamic cells, and collaboration of many of those cells over a billion years led to the evolution of human life. During the last century, biologists then began to unravel the marvels of cellular organisation with ever in ...

Fatal attraction-The role of hypoxia when alpha-synuclein gets intimate with mitochondria

Hilal Lashuel, Grégoire Millet, Johannes Burtscher, Muhammed Muazzam Kamil Syed

Alpha-synuclein aggregation and mitochondrial dysfunction are main pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and several other neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleinopathies. However, increasing evidence suggests that they may ...

Proper mitochondrial function plays a central role in cellular metabolism. Various diseases as well as aging are associated with diminished mitochondrial function. Previously, we identified 19 miRNAs putatively involved in the regulation of mitochondrial m ...

Alterations of Brain Energy Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats Measured In Vivo by (13)C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Sarah Catherine Sonnay, Freya-Merret Girault

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with deterioration of brain structure and function. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T2D induces a reorganization of the brain metabolic networks that support brain function. For that, alterations of neuronal and glia ...

Astrocytic and neuronal oxidative metabolism are coupled to the rate of glutamate-glutamine cycle in the tree shrew visual cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Gregor Rainer, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay, Anne Catherine Clerc

Astrocytes play an important role in glutamatergic neurotransmission, namely by clearing synaptic glutamate and converting it into glutamine that is transferred back to neurons. The rate of this glutamate–glutamine cycle (VNT) has been proposed to couple t ...

Novel tools to dissect stem cell metabolism at single cell level

Gennady Nikitin

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are responsible for the life-long maintenance of our blood system. Their long-term capacity to both self-renew and differentiate and the ability to efficiently âhomeâ to their bone marrow niches when injected in the blood ...

Biogenesis of the mitochondrial DNA inheritance machinery in the mitochondrial outer membrane of Trypanosoma brucei

Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, André Schneider

Mitochondria cannot form de novo but require mechanisms that mediate their inheritance to daughter cells. The parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei has a single mitochondrion with a single-unit genome that is physically connected across the two mitochondr ...

Adenosine A(1) receptors control the metabolic recovery after hypoxia in rat hippocampal slices

João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Adenosine is a neuromodulator that protects neurons from hypoxia. This effect is attributed to the ability of adenosine A(1) receptors (A(1)R) to inhibit excitatory synaptic transmission. However, A(1)R activation also protects non-brain tissues from hypox ...

Wiley-Blackwell2016

The Na+ gradient across the plasma membrane is constantly exploited by astrocytes as a secondary energy source to regulate the intracellular and extracellular milieu, and discard waste products. One of the most prominent roles of astrocytes in the brain is ...
