Mono- and double-mutant mouse models of Parkinson's disease display severe mitochondrial damage
5 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding alpha-synuclein (asyn) causes autosomal-dominant, in the parkin gene autosomal-recessive forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The pathophysiology of PD is poorly understood, even though published evidence suggests a role for mitochondria in the pathogenesis. To gain insight into the influence of asyn and parkin on mitochondrial integrity and function, we have generated several...
