Mitochondria Are Altered in Human Cell Model of Parkinson's Disease

Caption

Images are of mitochondria from iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons. The neuron on the left is from a "normal" or control iPSC line; the neuron on the right was derived from the same (isogenic) iPSC line but carrying a Park2-null mutation, the most common mutation for Parkinson's disease.
