Mitochondrial Dynamics in Mitochondrial Diseases

open access: yesDiseases, 2016
Mitochondria are very versatile organelles in continuous fusion and fission processes in response to various cellular signals. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission/fusion, movements and turnover, are essential for the mitochondrial network quality control.

Mitochondria and quality control defects in a mouse model of Gaucher Disease-links to Parkinson's Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (gba) gene cause Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal storage disorder, and increase susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD).

Mitochondrial β-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yes, 2011
This research is supported by Alzheimer's Research UK, the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.It is well established that the intracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and

The Mitochondrial Chaperone Protein TRAP1 Mitigates α-Synuclein Toxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Overexpression or mutation of alpha-Synuclein is associated with protein aggregation and interferes with a number of cellular processes, including mitochondrial integrity and function.

Parkinson phenotype in aged PINK1-deficient mice is accompanied by progressive mitochondrial dysfunction in absence of neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is an adult-onset movement disorder of largely unknown etiology. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations of the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) cause the recessive ...

Mitochondrial heterogeneity in diseases

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
AbstractAs key organelles involved in cellular metabolism, mitochondria frequently undergo adaptive changes in morphology, components and functions in response to various environmental stresses and cellular demands. Previous studies of mitochondria research have gradually evolved, from focusing on morphological change analysis to systematic multiomics,

Mitochondrial diseases

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2004
By convention, the term "mitochondrial diseases" refers to disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is the only metabolic pathway in the cell that is under the dual control of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and the nuclear genome (nDNA).

Neuroimaging of mitochondrial disease [PDF]

open access: yesMitochondrion, 2008
Mitochondrial disease represents a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that require a variety of diagnostic tests for proper determination. Neuroimaging may play a significant role in diagnosis. The various modalities of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow for multiple independent detection procedures that can give important anatomical ...

Mitochondria, neurosteroids and biological rhythms : implications in health and disease states [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mitochondria are considered as the “powerhouses” of cells because they synthesize the universal source of energy under the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules via oxidative phosphorylation from nutritional sources. Thus, impaired mitochondrial

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
