Mitochondrial Quality Control Imbalance in the Heterogeneity of Parkinson's Disease: From Selective Vulnerability to Stratified Transformation
International journal of molecular sciences · Chen Y et al. · Paper published 11 Sep 2026
From the abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder in which variable symptom profiles, progression rates, and treatment responses likely reflect distinct but partially convergent pathogenic mechanisms.
