Molecular and biochemical approaches in primary human cells illustrate how a nuclear RNA-binding protein is shifted to the surface of osteoclasts – setting their size and biological activity.

In vivo live imaging reveals the trafficking dynamics of three cellular organelles in neocortical axons with single vesicle resolution and demonstrates activity-dependent changes.

Activation of adiponectin receptors in young and aged mice induces changes in muscular metabolism via stimulation of AMPK and PGC-1a and ameliorates age-related muscle loss of function.

The primary respiratory defect seen in aged cardiomyocytes is an elevated proton leak mediated by ANT1, and this is prevented by treatment with SS-31 (elamipretide).
