Evaluation of 6-Hydroxydopamine and Rotenone In Vitro Neurotoxicity on Differen...
Simões, Rui F.; Oliveira, Paulo J.; Oliveira, Teresa Cunha; Pereira, Francisco B.With the increase in life expectancy and consequent aging of the world's population, the prevalence of many neurodegenerative diseases is increasing, without concomitant improvement in diagnostics and therapeutics. These diseases share neuropathological hallmarks, including mitochondrial dysfunction. In fact, as mitochondrial alterations appear prior to neuronal cell death at an early phase of a disease's onset...
MPV17 Mutations Are Associated With a Quiescent Energetic Metabolic Profile
Jacinto, Sandra; Guerreiro, Patrícia; Oliveira, Rita Machado de; Oliveira, Teresa Cunha; Santos, Maria João; Grazina, Manuela; Rego, A. CristinaMutations in the MPV17 gene are associated with hepatocerebral form of mitochondrial depletion syndrome. The mechanisms through which MPV17 mutations cause respiratory chain dysfunction and mtDNA depletion is still unclear. The MPV17 gene encodes an inner membrane mitochondrial protein that was recently described to function as a non-selective channel. Although its exact function is unknown, it is thought to be...
