Scientists have identified a protein in the brain that plays a key role in the function of mitochondria - the part of the cell that supplies energy, supports cellular activity, and potentially wards off threats from disease. The discovery, which was reported in the Journal of Cell Biology, may shed new light on how the brain recovers from stroke.
