Oxidative switch drives mitophagy defects in dopaminergic parkin mutant patient neurons

Abstract Mutations in PRKN are the most common cause of early onset Parkinson’s disease. Parkin is an E3 ubiquitin ligase, functioning in mitophagy. Mitochondrial abnormalities are present in PRKN mutant models. Patient derived neurons are a promising model in which to study pathogenic mechanisms an...
