The long term effects of uncoupling interventions as a therapy for dementia in humans

2023-06-07

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we use simulation methods to study a hypothetical uncoupling agent as a therapy for dementia. We simulate the proliferation of mitochondrial deletion mutants amongst a population of wild-type in human neurons. Mitochondria play a key role in ATP generation. Clonal expansion can lead to the wild-type being overwhelmed by deletions such that a diminished population can no longer fulfill a cell's energy...
