Mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders

The molecular mechanism explaining the persistent mitochondrial dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons is suggested to be related to clonal accumulation of deleted mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) molecules at the single-cell level [17,18]. This in turn diminishes the residual amount of wildtype mtDNA, thus l ...
