Minicolumns are thought to be a fundamental neural unit in the neocortex and their replication may have formed the basis of the rapid cortical expansion that occurred during primate evolution. We sought evidence of minicolumns in the primary visual c...

Mitochondrial ATP Synthase is a Target of Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases (2022)
Journal Article
Ebanks, B., & Chakrabarti, L. (2022). Mitochondrial ATP Synthase is a Target of Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases. Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 9, Article 854321. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2022.854321

The mitochondrial ATP synthase is responsible for the production of cellular ATP, and it does so by harnessing the membrane potential of the mitochondria that is produced by the sequential oxidation of select cellular metabolites. Since the structura... Read More about Mitochondrial ATP Synthase is a Target of Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases.
