Mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase alleviates Alzheimer’s disease pathology via blocking the toxic amyloid-β oligomer generation

Takeda et al. investigate the role of mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase (MITOL) in Alzheimer’s disease progression. They demonstrate that MITOL has a direct effect on mitochondrial dynamics and functioning and its ablation can enhance the seeding effect of Aβ-plaques, leading to cognitive decline in th...
