Key Moments
Mitochondria are scaffolds, not just powerhouses: why half of neurodegeneration traces back to them
Goldberg explains mitochondria serve three roles in neurons -- energy production, social signaling between cells, and physical scaffolding for cellular processes. Half of neurodegenerative diseases trace back to mitochondrial defects, which is why red light therapy targeting mitochondria shows promise.
"They're powerhouses, they're social creatures, but they're also scaffolds. And they're actually the foundation upon which a lot of other cellular signaling is happening."
