Default Parkinson's-linked mutation makes neurons vulnerable to calcium-induced death

"They found that loss of PINK1 resulted in an aberrant calcium overload inside the mitochondria.

This overload stimulated production of dangerous reactive oxygen species that interfered with the ability of the mitochondria to transport sugar needed for energy production. This phenomenon could be reversed by providing substrates for energy production..."
