29 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Over the past four decades, mitochondrial dysfunction has been a recurring theme in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is hypothesized to play a central role in its disease pathogenesis. Given the instrumental role of mitochondria in cellular energy production, their dysfunction can be detrimental to highly energy-dependent dopaminergic neurons, known to degenerate in PD. Mitochondria harbor multiple copies of their...
