How brain cells are starved of energy in autophagy dysfunction: Study
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to new research, neurodegeneration in brain cells may occur when the normal cellular cleansing mechanism failed owing to declining levels of a coenzyme related to niacin and deprives cells of energy.
