Mitochondrial control of inflammation

Saverio Marchi et al.

Summary: This article discusses the molecular mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction leads to inflammatory reactions, the cellular pathways that regulate them, and the pathological consequences of dysregulated inflammatory responses elicited by mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis prevalence?

Rosario Vasta et al.

Summary: The study analyzed ALS prevalence using data from the PARALS register, finding that prevalence ratios increase proportionally with the length of the time period considered, with the highest increase observed in younger age groups. The prevalence ratio increase was particularly significant for patients with the UMN phenotype.

Pathological mitophagy disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

Alberto Danese et al.

Summary: Patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) exhibit sustained abnormal autophagy and compartment-specific mitophagy activity, disrupting mitochondrial homeostasis and leading to defective bioenergetics and excessive reactive oxygen species production. Modulating autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis can counteract this pathological mechanism.

Impairment of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in skin fibroblasts of SALS and FALS patients is rescued by in vitro treatment with ROS scavengers

Grazyna Debska-Vielhaber et al.

Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, with approximately 10% of patients having familial ALS with mutations in various genes. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in ALS pathogenesis, with oxidative stress potentially contributing to mitochondrial impairments.

Common and rare variant association analyses in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis identify 15 risk loci with distinct genetic architectures and neuron-specific biology

Wouter van Rheenen et al.

Summary: A cross-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) identified 15 risk loci with distinct genetic architectures and neuron-specific biology. The study emphasized the urgent need for disease-modifying therapies for ALS. High cholesterol levels were suggested to have a causal role in the onset of ALS, among other environmental and lifestyle risk factors.

Targeted sequencing panels in Italian ALS patients support different etiologies in the ALS/FTD continuum

Anna Bartoletti-Stella et al.

Summary: Research suggests that genetic abnormalities in major ALS genes primarily affect patients with a family history of pure ALS, while rare ALS/FTD gene variants are more common in patients with a family history of other neurodegenerative diseases. These two genetic components may help guide genetic screening protocols.

Therapeutic Options in Hereditary Optic Neuropathies

Giulia Amore et al.

Summary: Efforts to effectively treat hereditary optic neuropathies have made progress with the launch of idebenone for LHON, but further options are needed for conditions like DOA. Developing medications, including gene therapy, are showing promise, paving the way for future therapeutic options in this field.
