Mitochondrial Quality Control and Parkinson’s Disease: A Pathway Unfolds

Abstract excerpt

Recent findings from genetic studies suggest that defective mitochondrial quality control may play an important role in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Such defects may result in the impairment of neuronal mitochondria, which leads to both synaptic dysfunction and cell death and results in neurodegeneration. Here, we review state-of-the-art knowledge of how pathways affecting mitochondrial quality...
