Dysfunctional Mitochondria and Mitophagy as Drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis
Neurons are highly specialized post-mitotic cells that are inherently dependent on mitochondria owing to their high bioenergetic demand. Mitochondrial dysfunction is therefore associated with various age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), wherein accumulation of da...
