Hallmarks and Molecular Tools for the Study of Mitophagy in Parkinson’s Disease
2 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
The best-known hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) are the motor deficits that result from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Dopaminergic neurons are thought to be particularly susceptible to mitochondrial dysfunction.
