Mitochondrial Transport, Metabolism and ROS Production in Disease Models

Mitochondrial Transport, Metabolism and ROS Production in Disease Models. Peter Hollenbeck, reearch talk in the Samuel Colella Lecture Series in Neurodegeneration at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.


The talk covered studies from the Hollenbeck laboratory on the etiology of Friedreich ataxia and Parkinson’s disease. The work implicates defects in axonal transport, metabolism and mitochondrial turnover in the death of neurons.
