A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats (2019)
Journal Article
Pollard, A. K., Ingram, T. L., Ortori, C. A., Shephard, F., Brown, M., Liddell, S., …Chakrabarti, L. (2019). A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats. Aging, 11(6), 1664-1685. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101861

It is accepted that smaller mammals with higher metabolic rates have shorter lifespans. The very few species that do not follow these rules can give insights into interesting differences. The recorded maximum lifespans of bats are exceptional - over... Read More about A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats.

Mouse mitochondrial lipid composition is defined by age in brain and muscle (2017)
Journal Article
Pollard, A. K., Ortori, C. A., Stöger, R., Barrett, D. A., & Chakrabarti, L. (in press). Mouse mitochondrial lipid composition is defined by age in brain and muscle. Aging, 9(3), https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101204

Functionality of the lipid rich mitochondrial organelle declines with increased age. Recent advances in lipidomic technologies allowed us to perform a global characterisation of lipid composition in two different tissue types and age ranges. Ultra-hi...

Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration (2016)
Journal Article
Pollard, A., Shephard, F., Freed, J., Liddell, S., & Chakrabarti, L. (2016). Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration. Aging, 8(10), 2425-2436. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101064

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma and cancers. Carbonic anhydrases perform a crucial role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons. However, there is little information about carbonic anhydrase... Read More about Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration.

Mitochondrial complex 1 activity measured by spectrophotometry is reduced across all brain regions in ageing and more specifically in neurodegeneration (2016)
Journal Article
Cai, H., Pollard, A. K., Craig, E. L., & Chakrabarti, L. (in press). Mitochondrial complex 1 activity measured by spectrophotometry is reduced across all brain regions in ageing and more specifically in neurodegeneration. PLoS ONE, 11(6), Article e0157405. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0157405

Mitochondrial function, in particular complex 1 of the electron transport chain (ETC), has been shown to decrease during normal ageing and in neurodegenerative disease. However, there is some debate concerning which area of the brain has the greatest...
