Neuronal Mitophagy in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neuronal homeostasis depends on the proper functioning of different quality control systems. All intracellular components are subjected to continuous turnover through the coordinated synthesis, degradation and recycling of their constituent elements. Autophagy is the catabolic mechanism by which intracellular cytosolic components, including proteins, organelles, aggregates and any other intrace...
متن کاملNeuronal cell death in neurodegenerative diseases: recurring themes around protein handling
Neuronal cell death plays a role in many chronic neurodegenerative diseases with the loss of particular subsets of neurons. The loss of the neurons occurs during a period of many years, which can make the mode(s) of cell death and the initiating factors difficult to determine. In vitro and in vivo models have proved invaluable in this regard, yielding insight into cell death pathways. This revi...
متن کاملMechanisms of cell death in neurodegenerative and retinal diseases: common pathway?
The review intends to draw the attention of researchers working in retinal degenerations on the fact that classical apoptosis, for example, apoptosis triggering caspase activation, may not be the main pathway of cellular demise in this tissue.Former work already showed the difficulty of proving the activation of apoptosis effectors in different models of retinal degeneration. However, these res...
متن کاملRole of sphingolipid-mediated cell death in neurodegenerative diseases.
The metazoan nervous system gives rise intradevelopmentally to many more neurons than ultimately survive in the adult. Such excess cells are eliminated through programmed cell death or apoptosis. As is true for cells of other lineages, neuronal survival is sustained by an array of growth factors, such that withdrawal of neurotrophic support results in apoptotic cell death. Apoptosis is therefor...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapies
Neurodegenerative diseases are amongst the most costly and devastating diseases, both to patients as well as to their families. This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the first case description of what we now call Alzheimer’s disease, the most common neurodegenerative disease. This special time provides a unique opportunity for us to reflect on howmuch we have learned and yet to also appr...
