This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Mitochondria are key integrators of cellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling and energy metabolism. Early studies demonstrated that isolated mitochondria could buffer huge amounts of Ca2+ via a highly ...

To use a well-known phrase, mitochondria are the ‘power house of the cell’ and produce ATP, the energetic currency of life. 1 Although this is a vital role, mitochondria also have many other crucial ...

While calcium's importance for our bones and teeth is well known, its role in neurons -- in particular, its effects on processes such as learning and memory -- has been less well defined. A new study ...

Mitochondria -- the energy-generating powerhouses of cells -- are also a site for oxidative stress and cellular calcium regulation. The latter two functions have long been suspected of being linked ...

The importance of calcium in the body has been stressed to many of us from childhood, and for good reason. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and its functions range from promoting ...

In Fig. 4c of this Article, the y axis values were wrongly given as 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 in the middle and the lower panels. The correct values should read 0, 10, 20 ...
