Mitochondria as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains the most common neurodegenerative disease characterized by β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition and memory loss. Studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in AD, which involves oxidative stress-induced respiratory chain dysfunction, loss of mitochondrial biogenesis, defects of mitochondrial dynamics and mtDNA mutations. Thus mitochondria might serve as...
