Abnormal tau protein aggregation in the brain is a hallmark of tauopathies, such as frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease. Substantial evidence has been linking to neurodegeneration, but underlying mechanisms have yet be clearly identified. Mitochondria are paramount organelles neurons, they provide main source energy (adenosine triphosphate) these highly energetic cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction was identified an early event neurodegenerative diseases occurring even before cognitive deficits. Tau shown interact with mitochondrial proteins impair bioenergetics dynamics, leading neurotoxicity. In this review, we discuss detail different impacts disease-associated on functions, including transport, network mitophagy bioenergetics. We also give new insights about effects abnormal neurosteroidogenesis, well endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria coupling. A better understanding pathomechanisms tau-induced failure may help identify targets for therapeutic interventions.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which mainly targets motor symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. The physiological changes occur due to dopamine depletion in basal ganglia region of the brain. PD aetiology not yet elucidated clearly but genetic environmental factors play prominent role occurrence. Despite various factors, pesticides exposure has been convicted major candidate pathogenesis. Among 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) widely investigated following with paraquat (PQ), maneb (MB), organochlorines (OC) rotenone.

The distinguishing pathogenic features of neurodegenerative diseases include mitochondrial dysfunction and derived reactive oxygen species generation. neural tissue is highly sensitive to oxidative stress this a prominent factor in both chronic acute neurodegeneration. Based on this, therapeutic strategies using antioxidant molecules towards redox equilibrium have been widely used for the treatment several brain pathologies. Globally, polyphenols, carotenes vitamins are among most typical exogenous agents that tested neurodegeneration as adjunctive therapies. However, other types antioxidants, including hormones, such melatonin, also considered neuroprotective different contexts. This review highlights relevant targets main disorders Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Huntington's disease less represented amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, well traumatic injury, while summarizing latest randomized placebo-controlled trials.

Neuronal loss is one of the striking causes various central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including major neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s (PD), Huntington’s (HD), and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although these diseases have different features clinical manifestations, they share some common mechanisms pathology. Progressive regional neurons in patients responsible for motor, memory, cognitive dysfunctions, leading to disabilities death. cell death linked pathways conditions.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a key factor in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), underscoring the therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondria-related genes. This study aimed to identify novel biomarkers and drug targets for these through comprehensive analysis that integrated genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) with genes associated mitochondrial function. Using existing publicly available association studies (GWAS) summary statistics data on 1136 genes, we initially identified subset related function exhibited significant associations NDDs. We then conducted colocalization summary-data-based (SMR) analyses using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) validate causal role candidate Additionally, assessed druggability encoded proteins prioritize further exploration. Genetically predicted levels 10 were found be significantly risk Elevated DMPK LACTB2 increased Alzheimer's disease risk. Higher NDUFAF2, BCKDK, MALSU1, along lower TTC19, raised Parkinson's ACLY both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis multiple (MS) risks, while decreased MCL1, TOP3A, VWA8 MS These primarily impact energy metabolism.

Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are a class of heterogeneous that includes Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Huntington's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mitochondria play an important role in oxidative balance metabolic activity neurons; therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with NDs mitochondria considered potential treatment target for NDs. Several obstacles, including the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) cell/mitochondrial membranes, reduce efficiency drug entry into lesions. Therefore, variety neuron targeting strategies has been developed. Among them, nanotechnology‐based treatments show especially promising results. Owing to their adjustable size, appropriate charge, lipophilic surface, nanoparticles (NPs) ideal theranostic system crossing BBB neuronal mitochondria. In this review, we discussed dysfunctional ND pathogenesis as well physiological barriers various strategies. We also reviewed use advantages NPs (including organic, inorganic, biological membrane‐coated NPs) diagnosis Finally, summarized evidence possible NP‐based systems dysfunction‐related
