Mitochondrial Function/Neuroprotection (N/A)

Target
N/A
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Transcription factor, Other
01

Overview

Mitochondrial function is central to cellular energy production, redox balance, and regulation of cell death pathways. In the nervous system, mitochondria are critical for neuron survival and function due to their high energy demands. Neuroprotection refers to strategies or mechanisms that preserve neuronal structure and function in the face of injury or neurodegenerative disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common pathological feature across many neurodegenerative disorders, making mitochondrial pathways attractive targets for neuroprotective interventions. Therapeutic approaches target electron transport chain modulation, antioxidant defense via Nrf2, mitophagy/autophagy, and mitochondrial dynamics.
