The affected mitochondria could no longer provide the synapses with enough energy, which ultimately prevented the synapses from functioning — providing the first direct link between cellular injury caused by amyloid protein and the characteristic breakdown of neuronal communication that occurs in Alzheimer's patients.

Using cryoinjury — damaging the heart through exposure to extreme cold in order to mimic cellular injury caused by myocardial infarction — investigators found that neonatal mouse hearts can fully recover normal function following a mild injury, though fail to regenerate after a severe injury.

«But we discovered that attaching microbeads to the cell's surface amplifies the cell's response during cavitation and produces the same result with much less risk of cellular injury.» (sciencedaily.com)
