Researchers Firm-Up Evidence For Role Of Mitochondria In Parkinson's Disease

A new study from the National Institutes of Health sheds light on the functions of two proteins related to Parkinson's disease, called parkin and PINK1. The research, led by Richard Youle of NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), connects parkin and PINK1 in a pathway that assures quality control over mitochondria - the subcellular powerhouses that are the main source of energy for neurons and most other cells in the body. The results are published January 26 in the open-access journal PLoS Biology.
