Investigating Astrocytic Mitochondrial Transfer as a Therapeutic Potential in β-Amyloid Toxicity.

Aging is an inevitable process in the life cycle of all organisms and has been identified as the primary risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer`s disease (AD). Emerging evidence suggests that brain mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in synaptic and cognitive deficits, as well as neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD.
