Synaptic basis of Alzheimer's disease: Focus on synaptic amyloid beta, P-tau and mitochondria.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of synaptic action, mitochondrial regulation/dysregulation, resulting synaptic changes caused by amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau in AD progression and impairments in LTD and reactivation of microglia are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective mitophagy in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Whether a partial reduction of Drp1 can be aMitophagy enhancer and a therapeutic target for mitophagy in AD and other neurological diseases is discussed.

Regulation of Mammalian Mitochondrial Dynamics: Opportunities and Challenges.

TL;DR: This review describes recent insights into the potential molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial fusion and fission, particularly highlighting the coordinating roles of different mitochondria-shaping proteins in the processes, as well as the roles of the endoplasmic reticulum, the actin cytoskeleton and membrane phospholipids in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics.

Oxidants, oxidative stress and the biology of ageing.

TL;DR: Evidence that the appropriate and inappropriate production of oxidants, together with the ability of organisms to respond to oxidative stress, is intricately connected to ageing and life span is reviewed.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases

TL;DR: Treatments targeting basic mitochondrial processes, such as energy metabolism or free-radical generation, or specific interactions of disease-related proteins with mitochondria hold great promise in ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Mutations in the parkin gene cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism

TL;DR: Mutations in the newly identified gene appear to be responsible for the pathogenesis of Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, and the protein product is named ‘Parkin’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkin is recruited selectively to impaired mitochondria and promotes their autophagy

TL;DR: It is shown that Parkin is selectively recruited to dysfunctional mitochondria with low membrane potential in mammalian cells and this recruitment promotes autophagy of damaged mitochondria and implicate a failure to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondira in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
