Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to CHCHD2 mutation, causing disrupted protein interactions, metabolic shift to glycolysis, ROS elevation, and α-synuclein aggregation. CHCHD2 accumulation leads to neurodegeneration via impaired respiration.
Protein dataset from NanoString CosMx includes sigmoid colon samples from healthy controls, Parkinson's disease, and inflammatory bowel disease patients for analysis.
New micro-fiber array allows chronic measurement and optogenetic manipulation at 100+ locations in mice, for studying cell-type and neurotransmitter-specific signals in 3-D volumes. Protocol involves micro-CT scanning and fiber localization.
