Mitochondrial DNA Instability and Neuroinflammation: Connecting the Dots Between Base Excision Repair and Neurodegenerative Disease
2025-12-22
Abstract excerpt
Neurons have exceptionally high energy demands, sustained by thousands to millions of mitochondria per cell. Each mitochondrion depends on the integrity of its mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes essential electron transport chain (ETC) subunits required for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The continuous, high-level production of ATP through OXPHOS generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), posing a signifi...
