Abstract excerpt
In this review, we highlight recent findings about the role of some mitochondrial proteins in neurological diseases. Studies in mice gene-deleted for Omi/HtrA2 and AIF showed the involvement of these mitochondrial proteins in selective cell degeneration in the spinal cord and brain. In humans, mutations in the mitochondrial protein, Paraplegin, cause an autosomal form of hereditary spastic paraplegia with an...
