What are the Clinical Implications of Mitochondrial Dysfunction?
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a variety of diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease have been linked to mitochondrial defects. Muscle disorders, including mitochondrial myopathies, often result from impaired mitochondrial function. Additionally, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.
