Researchers report statins could potentially reduce cardiovascular risks in people with Friedreich's ataxia. Read More
Researchers have identified an over accumulation of iron in the mitochondria of mice genetically engineered to have Huntington's disease. Read More
A highly toxic form of amyloid beta disrupts the normal function of mitochondria, researchers report. Read More
A new study reveals Parkinson's patients have more copies of mitochondrial DNA in the brain stem, leading to increased cell death within that area. Read More
A new Nature Communications study reports the antidepressant Clomipramine may relieve symptoms of primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Read More
Cardiff University researchers report a molecule in a common medication used to treat tapeworm has shown to be effective in enhancing the PINK1 protein and slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease. Read More
Boosting mitochondria may defend against a form of protein stress that can reduce the formation of amyloid plaques, EPFL researchers report. Read More
Researchers have generated motor neurons from people with familial ALS who carry FUS mutations. Read More
A new study reports antioxidant intervention during early stages of Parkinson's disease may help slow its progression. Read More
Researchers have developed a method of removing damaged mitochondria in fruit flies, causing the insects to become more active and increasing typical lifespan. UCLA researchers report the method could eventually be used to benefit humans and delay the onset of age-related diseases. Read More
Brain dysfunction noted in schizophrenia patients may be a result of impaired expression of a protein complex associated with protein synthesis, researchers report. Read More
A new study reports mitochondrial changes may be important risk factors for identifying those with autism spectrum disorders. Read More
