Analyzing Neuronal Mitochondria in vivo Using Fluorescent Reporters in Zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

Despite their importance for cellular viability, the actual life history and properties of mitochondria in neurons are still unclear. These organelles are distributed throughout the entirety of the neuron and serve many functions, including: energy production (ATP), iron homeostasis and processing, calcium buffering, and metabolite production, as well as many other lesser known activities. Given their importance,...
