Empty-handed neurons might cause neurodegenerative diseases

Mitochondrial Meltdown: The Energy Failure Behind Neurodegenerative Diseases

Key pathway identified for how depletion of axonal mitochondria disrupts autophagy. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified how proteins collect abnormally in neurons, a feature of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. They used fruit flies to show that depletion of
