Somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations in cortex and substantia nigra in aging and Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The results indicate that individually rare mtDNA point mutations reach a high aggregate burden in FCtx and SN of elderly subjects and there were no significant differences between Parkinson's disease patients and age-matched controls in somatic mutation levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterologous mitochondrial DNA recombination in human cells

TL;DR: Two human cytoplasmic hybrid cell lines are fused, each containing a distinct pathogenic mtDNA mutation and specific sets of genetic markers, and direct evidence of recombination between these two mtDNA haplotypes is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triterpenoid CDDO–methylamide improves memory and decreases amyloid plaques in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: The effect of the triterpenoid, CDDO‐MA, significantly improved spatial memory retention and reduced plaque burden, Aβ42 levels, microgliosis, and oxidative stress in Tg19959 mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-Related Cofilin Abnormality in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: It is found that microRNAs 103 and 107 repress translation of cofilin, and that reduced levels of miR-103 or miR -107 are associated with elevated coFilin protein levels and formation of rod-like structures in a transgenic mouse model of AD, suggesting that micro RNAs may play an important role in cytoskeletal pathology in AD.
