Effect of Neuroinflammation on Mitochondrial Quality Control Pathways in Parkinson’s Disease – Affected Neurons

Wolf, Larissa (University Honors College, Middle Tennessee State University, 2015-12-02)

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by motor dysfunction, which is attributed to the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. It is currently thought that inflammation of the brain (neuroinflammation) and defects in ...
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms that control the switch between mitochondrial repair and destruction after mitochondrial damage

Nolin, Andrew (University Honors College, Middle Tennessee State University, 2015-12-02)

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra pars compacta, resulting in tremors at rest, bradykinesia, stiffness of muscles, retropulsion, ...
Investigating the effects of α-synuclein variants on mitochondrial function in Parkinson’s disease

Yates, Rachel (University Honors College, Middle Tennessee State University, 2015-12)

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta region of the brain and affects millions of individuals worldwide each year. It is known that mitochondrial ...
