Mitochondrial inheritance:In this unique type of inheritance, the mitochondria contain their own DNA. Only mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are exclusively inherited from mothers. If this is the way a mitochondrial disease ...
Mitochondria are implicated in several metabolic pathways including cell respiratory processes, apoptosis, and free radical production. Mitochondrial abnormalities have been documented in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis...

several clinical and histological descriptions of mitochondrial myopathies were published in the litterature. Using modified Gomori trichrome staining, Engel and Cunninghan (
The small mitochondrial genome is not able to independently produce all of the proteins needed for functionality; thus, mitochondria rely heavily on imported nuclear gene products. One mitochondrion contains dozens of copies of its mitochondrial genome. In addition, each cell contains numerous mitochondri...
Mitochondria are cellular organelles commonly considered “the powerhouses” of the cell, as their primary function is to produce metabolic energy through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Beyond this essential function, these organelles play a central role in other aspects of cell life and death, ...
1、13 线粒体疾病mitochondrial diseases,Mutations (changes) in the mitochondrial chromosome are responsible for a number of disorders,Mitochondrial disease is a chronic, genetic disorder that occurs when the mitochondria of the cell fails to produce enough energy for cell or organ function,The ...
The central role that alterations of the mitochondria and mtDNA may play in aging and age-related degenerative diseases is discussed in relation to the "... Yau-Huei,Wei - 《Experimental Biology & Medicine》 被引量: 646发表: 1998年 Mitochondrial DNA repair and aging. Oxidative damage to the...
Mitochondria are unique energy-generating cellular organelles designed to survive and contain their own unique genetic coding material, a circular mtDNA fragment of approximately 16,000 base pairs. The mitochondrial genetic system incorporates closely interacting bi-genomic factors encoded by the nuclear ...
leading to diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular (or heart), lung, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, etc.4The removal of mitochondria in a timely and accurate manner is critical for cell survival in response to changes in developmental, bioenergetic, and environmental conditions. Therefore,...
