Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining cellular health. It is interesting that the shape of mitochondria can vary depending on the type of cell, mitochondrial function, and other cellular conditions. However, there are limited studies that link functional assessment with mitochondrial morphology evaluation at high magnification, even fewer that do so in situ and none in human muscle biopsies.

Background: Autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) efficiency declines Alzheimer's disease (AD). In AD mouse models expressing a fluorescent autophagy and pH probe, autolysosomes pH elevation, resulting from deficient v-ATPase activity, causes autophagy substrates, including Aβ and APP-βCTF, to build up selectively within autolysosomes before extracellular amyloid deposits. In the most compromised but still intact neurons, massive numbers of Aβ-positive autolysosomes pack into huge petal-like blebs bulging out from the perikaryal membrane (PANTHOS).

However, to date, their maturation in the human brain is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to define the structure and composition of tangle maturation stages in the AD brain using correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM).

Herbicide paraquat dichloride, a potent redox agent found its way to natural water bodies and influences their health; however, its impact on the reproductive health of fish is potentially less studied and requires clear investigation. This study was conducted to elucidate its effect on the gonadal health of female fish, Channa punctatus over 60 days. The 96-h LC of test herbicide was calculated as 0.

In the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, the core proteins in this process are a membrane protein complex, SecYEG, corresponding to the eukaryotic Sec61 complex, and a cytoplasmic protein, SecA ATPase. Despite more than three decades of extensive research on Sec proteins, from genetic experiments to cutting-edge single-molecule analyses, no study has visually demonstrated protein translocation.
