RNA modification is responsible for the disruption of mitochondrial protein synthesis in Alzheimer’s disease

A team of researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has identified a mechanism that causes mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s patients resulting in a reduction of the supply of energy to the brain. “This effect is attributable to an RNA modification which has not previously been reported,” said Professor Kristina Friedland of the Institute of … Read more
