Mitochondria and Calcium Regulation as Basis of Neurodegeneration Associated With Aging

Age is the main risk factor for the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. A decline of mitochondrial function has been observed in several age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases and may be a major contributing factor in their progression. Recent findings have shown that mitochondrial fitness is tig...
