T O P I C:   Mitochondria At The Center Of Alzheimer���s Disease

 

 

 

Dr. Perry���s studies are focused on the mechanism of formation and physiological consequences of the cytopathology of Alzheimer���s disease. The lab has shown that oxidative damage is the initial cytopathology in Alzheimer���s disease. They are working to determine the sequence of events leading to neuronal oxidative damage and the source of the increased oxygen radicals.
