Another new study shows how genetic mutations linked to Parkinson's disease may play an important role in the death of brain cells by interfering with their natural process for getting rid of faulty mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses inside cells that are vital for effective cell functioning. The finding may offer new targets for effective drug treatments.
The paper describes how defects in the Parkinson's gene Fbxo7 disrupt the process of "mitophagy," the process cells use to eliminate faulty mitochondria. http://bit.ly/19q3mDP |
