Mitochondria and Programmed Cell Death in Parkinson's Disease: Apoptosis and Beyond
28 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Abstract Significance: Activation of mitochondrion-dependent programmed cell death (PCD) pathways is instrumental to the demise of substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons in experimental mouse models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Supporting the relevance of these findings for PD, key molecular elements of this pathogenic cascade have also been demonstrated in postmortem brain samples of PD...
