Researchers show sleep protects neuronal mitochondria by transferring oxidative lipid damage to glial and blood cells. The findings link sleep to metabolism, autophagy, and lipid regulation, offering ...
New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In the year 2000, if I had suggested to my department that we hire people ...
