This study examines sex-specific mitochondrial changes in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury, revealing distinct spatial and temporal responses in mitochondrial function across brain regions.

This study shows astrocytes transfer mitochondria to neurons after TBI to support mitochondrial function in neuronal soma, dendrites, and axons but not synapses, and demonstrates therapeutic potential of exogenous mitochondrial transfer via extracellular vesicles.

This study shows that traumatic brain injury worsens mitochondrial dysfunction in APP/PS1 mice through time-dependent mechanisms, with sex differences in vulnerability.

This study examines how developmental stage affects the transcriptomic response to neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage in rat brains, identifying stage-specific immune and inflammatory changes.

This study compares fibroblast metabolism across species, finding spiny mice and rabbits exhibit a glycolytic preference and oxidative stress resilience across lifespan.
