Role of GTPases in the Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Alzheimer's Disease and CNS-Related Disorders.

Data obtained from several studies have shown that mitochondria are involved and play a central role in the progression of several distinct pathological conditions. Morphological alterations and disruptions on the functionality of mitochondria may be related to metabolic and energy deficiency in neurons in a neurodegenerative disorder. Several recent studies demonstrate the linkage between neurodegeneration and mitochondrial dynamics in the spectrum of a promising era called precision mitochondrial medicine.
