Deskripsi
Calvo-Rodriguez et al. show elevated calcium levels in neuronal mitochondria in a mouse model of cerebral β-amyloidosis after plaque deposition, which precede rare neuron death events in this model. The mechanism involves toxic extracellular Aβ oligomers and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter.
