Mitochondrial malfunction and atrophy of astrocytes in the aged human cerebral cortex

Abstract How aging affects cells of the human brain active milieu remains largely unknown. Here, we analyze astrocytes and neurons in the neocortical tissue of younger (22–50 years) and older (51–72 years) adults. Aging decreases the amount of reduced mitochondrial cytochromes in astrocytes but not...
