Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.

Molecular Mechanisms of TDP-43 Misfolding and Pathology in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

TL;DR: The roles of TDP-43's mutations, its cytoplasmic mis-localization and aberrant post-translational modifications in ALS, its amyloid-like in vitro aggregation, its physiological vs. pathological oligomerization in vivo, liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and potential prion-like propagation propensity of the TDP -43 inclusions are discussed.

Mitochondrial dynamics in adaptive and maladaptive cellular stress responses

TL;DR: How stressors influence mitochondria components, and how they contribute to the complex adaptive and pathological responses that lead to disease are discussed.

How mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The description outlined here facilitates the understanding of factors that favour mitochondrial ROS production and develops better methods to measure mitochondrial O2•− and H2O2 formation in vivo, as uncertainty about these values hampers studies on the role of mitochondrial ROS in pathological oxidative damage and redox signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial formation of reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: This review describes the main mitochondrial sources of reactive species and the antioxidant defences that evolved to prevent oxidative damage in all the mitochondrial compartments and discusses various physiological and pathological scenarios resulting from an increased steady state concentration of mitochondrial oxidants.

A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the cause of chromosome 9p21-linked ALS-FTD

Alan E. Renton, +85 more
- 20 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The chromosome 9p21 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD) locus contains one of the last major unidentified autosomal-dominant genes underlying these common neurodegenerative diseases, and a large hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 is shown.
