The paper shows that injured mature oligodendrocytes lose mitochondria and survive without them for weeks to months before dying, unlike other oligodendrocyte lineage cells.

The paper shows that microglial processes involved in surveillance, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis lack mitochondria, while mitochondria arrive later in response to damage.

The paper examines mitochondrial dynamics during oligodendrocyte generation in mouse and human cerebral cortex, finding transient expansion and depletion linked to cellular processes and aging.
