    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of pineal research 2021-10-15 Genetics

    While melatonin is known to have protective effects in mitochondria-related diseases, aging, and neurodegenerative disorders, there is poor understanding of the effects of melatonin treatment on mitophagy in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. TDP-43 interacts with mitochondrial proteins critical for mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2018-04-30 Genetics

    Transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) functions as a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein and is the major pathological protein in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND).
