Researchers report dysfunctional mitophagy may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. When mitophagy is improved, symptoms of Alzheimer's almost disappeared in animal models of the disease.
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may explain how neurons falter during the earliest stages of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study reports the interaction between a mitochondrial protein called TOM20 and alpha-synuclein leads to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.
Researchers discover a cause of aging in mammals which they believe could be reversible.
Mitochondrial CYP2D6 may be a powerful target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP.
A recent study reveals that certain proteins, usually associated with inflammation and immunity, can cause damage to our neurons, contributing to ALS.
Researchers have discovered a new cellular mechanism that may be a root cause of multiple sclerosis.
Cannabinol, an active ingredient in cannabis, can help protect brain cells from oxidative damage and preserve mitochondrial function.
A new study on aging reveals a surprising discovery about the connection between protein shape and mitochondrial health.
Allen Institute researchers have launched a new predictive, comprehensive model of a living human cell. The 3D model has been released as a public resource that will allow researchers to study human disease models and better understand cell properties.
A new study reports mitochondrial changes may be important risk factors for identifying those with autism spectrum disorders.
Findings may help researchers better understand how diseases can spread through the brain.
