Mechanisms and roles of mitochondrial localisation and dynamics in neuronal function

TL;DR: The role that mitochondrial dynamics play in neuronal function, how these processes support synaptic transmission and how mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in neurodegenerative disease are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Quality Control: Role in Cardiac Models of Lethal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

TL;DR: The aims of this review are to provide a critical discussion of the emerging concept that mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy (the components of mitochondrial quality control) may contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiomyocyte death in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient Contraction of Mitochondria Induces Depolarization through the Inner Membrane Dynamin OPA1 Protein

TL;DR: It is found that electron transport activity is necessary for the morphological contraction of mitochondria, and transient matrix contraction is a novel cellular mechanism regulating mitochondrial activity through the function of the inner membrane dynamin OPA1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple roles of mitochondria in aging processes.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the major changes of mitochondria related to aging, with emphasis on mitochondrial DNA mutations, the role of the reactive oxygen species, and structural and functional changes of mitochondrialria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting mitochondrially mediated plasticity to develop improved therapeutics for bipolar disorder

TL;DR: Evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in BPD is reviewed and their role in energy metabolism, synaptic plasticity and cell survival, may be an important avenue for development of new mood-stabilizing agents.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a clinico-pathological study of 100 cases.

TL;DR: The pathological findings in 100 patients diagnosed prospectively by a group of consultant neurologists as having idiopathic Parkinson's disease are reported, and these observations call into question current concepts of Parkinson's Disease as a single distinct morbid entity.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

PINK1 is selectively stabilized on impaired mitochondria to activate Parkin.

TL;DR: The authors suggest that PINK1 and Parkin form a pathway that senses damaged mitochondria and selectively targets them for degradation.
