Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- Mitochondria are crucial for energy production in cells and play a significant role in neurodegenerative disease development.
- Mutations in mitochondrial DNA and issues with mitochondrial dynamics are associated with reduced energy production and increased oxidative stress.
- These disruptions may lead to neuronal damage and cell death.
- Emerging therapeutic strategies focus on addressing mitochondrial dysfunction through targeted therapies and antioxidants.
- Identifying reliable biomarkers for mitochondrial dysfunction could facilitate early diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases.
