Mitochondrial potassium channels: New properties and functions
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - BioenergeticsMitochondria are recently implicated in phenomena such as cytoprotection, cellular senescence, tumor metabolism, and inflammation. The basis of these processes relies on biochemical functions of mitochondria such as the synthesis of reactive oxygen species or biophysical properties such as the integrity of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Molecular Bases of Brain Preconditioning
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 Preconditioning of the brain induces tolerance to the damaging effects of ischemia and prevents cell death in ischemic penumbra. The development of this phenomenon is mediated by mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (KATP+) channels ...

Role of mitochondrial potassium channels in ageing
MitochondrionAgeing is described as an inevitable decline in body functions over time and an increase in susceptibility to age-related diseases. Therefore, the increase of life expectancy is also viewed as a condition in which many elderly will develop age-related diseases and disabilities, such as cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological and oncological ones ...

Mitokondriális eredetű nitrogén szabadgyökök és ATP-függő K-csatornák szerepe az organellum működésében = The involvement of mitochondrial-derived nitrogen radicals and mitoK-ATP channels in the regulation of organelle function [PDF]
, 2009 Elsőként a mitoKATP csatornák alegységeit terveztük azonosítani humán szív mintákon. A kísérletek során megbizonyosodtunk afelől, hogy a korábban ilyen csatornáknak gondolt fehérjék nincsenek jelen megfelelő számban és formában a mitokondriális ...

Why do axons differ in caliber? [PDF]
, 2012 CNS axons differ in diameter (d) by nearly 100-fold (∼0.1-10 μm); therefore, they differ in cross-sectional area (d(2)) and volume by nearly 10,000-fold.

Mitochondrial preconditioning: a potential neuroprotective strategy
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2010 Mitochondria have long been known as the powerhouse of the cell. However, these organelles are also pivotal players in neuronal cell death. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a prominent feature of chronic brain disorders, including Alzheimer's and ...

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]
, 2015 The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...
