Disrupted‐in‐schizophrenia‐1 protects synaptic plasticity in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease as a mitophagy receptor
28 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accumulated damaged mitochondria, which are associated with impaired mitophagy, contribute to neurodegeneration in AD. We show levels of Disrupted‐in‐schizophrenia‐1 (DISC1), which is genetically associated with psychiatric disorders and AD, decrease in the brains of AD patients and transgenic model mice and in Aβ‐treated cultured...
