Partial loss of MCU mitigates pathology in vivo across a diverse range of neurodegenerative disease models
21 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial calcium (Ca 2+ ) uptake augments metabolic processes and buffers cytosolic Ca 2+ levels; however, excessive mitochondrial Ca 2+ can cause cell death. Disrupted mitochondrial function and Ca 2+ homeostasis are linked to numerous neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), but the impact of mitochondrial Ca 2+ disruption is not well understood. Here, we show that Drosophila models of multiple NDs (Parkinson's,...
