Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that astrocytes can transfer healthy mitochondria to dopaminergic (DA) neurons, which may serve as an intrinsic neuroprotective mechanism in Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 G2019S is the most common pathogenic mutation associated with PD. In this study, we explored whether mitochondrial transfer is influenced by genetic and environmental factors and whether dysfunction in...
