Mitochondrial Transport and Turnover in the Pathogenesis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Neurons are high-energy consuming cells, heavily dependent on mitochondria for ATP generation and calcium buffering. These mitochondrial functions are particularly critical at specific cellular sites, where ionic currents impose a large energetic burden, such as at synapses. The highly polarized nat...
