Use of Cytoplasmic Hybrid Cell Lines for Elucidating the Role of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
There is substantial evidence of mitochondrial defects in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (AD and PD). We have probed the molecular implications of mitochondrial dysfunction in these diseases by transferring mitochondria from platelets obtained from disease and control donors into mitochondrial DNA-depleted recipient neuron-based cells (rho 0 cells). This process creates...
