TL;DR

This review integrates current understanding of mitochondrial permeability transition with emerging evidence implicating three novel regulatory components: F-ATP synthase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1), subunit j of F-ATP synthase, and mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (MTCH2), expanding the therapeutic landscape for treating aging and neurodegeneration through targeting the PTP.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances.

It is demonstrated that mitochondrial impairment precedes classical neuropathological hallmarks, thereby positioning mitochondrial dysfunction as a primary driver rather than a secondary consequence of neurodegeneration, and critically evaluates the translational landscape of mitochondria-targeted interventions.

Distinct sources and effects of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) have been implicated in aging and disease for decades and are typically viewed as a unitary, non-specific oxidative burden on cells and tissues. However, recent studies have identified at least eleven individual sources of mitochondrial ROS (ISOMRs) and revealed that ISOMRs...

Restoring mitochondria and associated chaperone function: New therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.

Neurodegenerative diseases have emerged as a significant global health challenge, with existing treatments merely providing symptomatic relief and failing to halt disease progression. Mitochondrial dysfunction and an imbalance in the molecular chaperone network constitute the core common pathological mechanisms underly...
