Abstract
Intercellular mitochondrial transfer has been shown in tumor models, following lung injury and in xenotransplants of leukemic cells, but trafficking between cells in the brain remains unexplored. A suggestion that mitochondria move from astrocytes to neurons in a model of ischemia in a recent article in Nature by Hayakawa et al. (2016) should be interpreted with caution.
