Scientific Background | JC-1 is a cationic dye used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential, a key indicator of mitochondrial health and function. In neuroscience, JC-1 is widely employed to study mitochondrial dysfunction, which is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS. JC-1 accumulates in mitochondria and exhibits potential-dependent fluorescence shifts, enabling real-time monitoring of mitochondrial depolarization and apoptosis. Its application in neuronal models helps elucidate the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cell survival, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism, contributing to the understanding of neurodegenerative mechanisms. |
