********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Restore mitochondrial health with rapamycin in Alzheimer's models

The addition of rapamycin was shown to recover a large amount of the mitochondrial membrane potential lost in Alzheimer's disease models.

#rapamycin

Utilize rapamycin to prevent neuron death by reducing pro-apoptotic proteins

Rapamycin was shown to eliminate the increase of pro-apoptotic proteins like BAX, which would otherwise lead to the death of neurons.

Target damaged mitochondria for elimination through Parkin activation

A compromised membrane potential in a mitochondrion is a key trigger that attracts destruction enzymes like Parkin to eliminate it.

#mitochondria

#regeneration

Isolate mitochondria to uncover autophagy protein concentration

By isolating mitochondria from the rest of the cell, researchers discovered that key autophagy proteins were concentrated there, a detail missed when analyzing the whole cell.
