Analysis of Age-Related Changes in Mitochondrial Morphology

INQUIRY

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by the progressive decline of physiological function and an increased susceptibility to age-related diseases. Mitochondria, as the powerhouse of the cell, play a vital role in this process. Changes in mitochondrial morphology, including alterations in size, shape, and distribution, have been implicated in aging-related cellular dysfunction. CD BioSciences recognizes the significance of mitochondrial morphology analysis in aging and offers a range of tailored services.

Mitochondrial Morphological Parameters We Evaluate

At CD BioSciences, our expert team evaluates a range of mitochondrial morphological parameters to comprehensively assess the impact of aging.

Mitochondrial morphological parameters	Description
Mitochondrial size	We analyze variations in mitochondrial size, including length, width, and volume. Changes in mitochondrial size have been associated with alterations in cellular metabolism and energy production, making this measurement essential in understanding mitochondrial function and its implications for aging-related processes.
Aspect ratio	By quantifying the aspect ratio, we can assess the degree of mitochondrial elongation or branching, which has implications for cellular homeostasis and function. Mitochondria with altered aspect ratios may indicate changes in cellular dynamics and signaling pathways associated with aging.
Circularity	We perform circularity measurements to assess the roundness or elongation of mitochondria. Our services quantify the degree to which mitochondria deviate from a perfect circle, providing insights into their structural integrity and potential alterations in their functional capacity.
Density	We quantify intracellular mitochondrial density with cellular aging using electron microscopy. Our services also reveal changes in the number of mitochondria within cells as they age, potentially providing insights into the dynamics of mitochondrial biogenesis and turnover.
