Can i use reporter for H202 as proxy for mitochondrial activiy.
Mini experiment to show some correlation between the probe and markers for mitochondrial activity. or the numbers of them. or fusion fission proteins?

This could then be used to characterize energetics within single cells in networks with neurons.
or their uptake of glycine vs glutamine.

Cells that take up more glutamine get excited more easily.
Why? beacuse their
other cells take up glycin slc6a11.

Live mitochondrial number counting. What mt live-dyes. Evaluate the activity of a cell, by other means than Fos. Fos is some kind of genetic activation. THat is fine, but also need to look at mt activity - energetic activation.

# NTR nitroreductase - ablation

Inducible Ablation of Astrocytes Shows That These Cells Are Required for Neuronal Survival in the Adult Brain
https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1002/glia.1061
To study the function of astrocytes in the adult brain, we have targeted
the expression of E. coli nitroreductase (NTR) to the astrocytes of transgenic mice under
the control of the GFAP promoter. The astrocytes expressing NTR were selectively
ablated after administration of the prodrug CB1954, resulting in motor discoordination

[The question is what other consequences are there from the expression that is not only due to the ablation of the astrocytes per se.]

# Aminoadipic acid aAA

[Can be used to ablate specifically astrocytes?](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncel.2017.00024/full#:~:text=Figure%202-,FIGURE%202.,-Effects%20and%20dynamics)

- Vimentin is normally also expressed in endothelial cells.

- Vimentin It is expressed in the mouse in astrocytes and glial precursors well before the onset of GFA protein expression and might therefore serve as an early marker of glial differentiation.

==Does not kill them, but shift them from Gfap&S100b into vimentin expressing astro== what does this signify?==
