Mitochondrial homeostasis in cellular models of Parkinson's disease

Mitochondrial function is known to be an important factor in maintaining cellular homeostasis and its dysregulation has become a hallmark for multiple disease conditions. This review aims to sythesise the extent of this knowledge by analysing changes of mitochondrial physiology parameters in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to evaluate the contribution of cellular models of PD in the field. The analysis provided here constitutes a platform for further elucidation of mitochondrial function parameters relative to factors that may potentiate disease progression.
