  1. Synaptic basis of Alzheimer's disease: Focus on synaptic amyloid beta, P-tau and mitochondria

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Ageing research reviews 2020-11-04 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and synaptic failure disease.

  2. The multi-faceted role of mitochondria in the pathology of Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2020-09-20 Genetics

    Mitochondria are essential for neuronal function.

  3. Extracellular Mitochondria and Mitochondrial Components Act as Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern Molecules in the Mouse Brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuroimmune pharmacology : the official journal of the Society on NeuroImmune Pharmacology 2016-08-25 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Mitochondria and mitochondrial debris are found in the brain's extracellular space, and extracellular mitochondrial components can act as damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules.
