Abstract excerpt
A decline in mitochondrial function is well recognized in neurodegenerative diseases and aging, and is thought to play a causal role in their biology. Unfortunately, the molecular basis underlying this detrimental loss in mitochondrial function remains mysterious. Interestingly, mitochondria undergo frequent fission and fusion. This process is regulated by molecular machinery that has been highly conserved during...
