Product Description: On the heels of World War I, another atrocity emerged to take millions more lives: flu. Overshadowed by that worldwide viral menace was an equally—indeed, Crosby believes, an even more—frightening killer, encephalitis lethargica (EL). If the name rings no bell, perhaps that isn’t surprising, since the malady claimed “only” a million lives, though it left at least that many more permanently disabled, before dropping off epidemiologists’ maps around 1927. The illness’ popular moniker, sleeping sickness, is more familiar, to the point of seeming innocuous. But the disease was and is anything but. No one has ever been able to articulate its etiology. Just because it flared up during a flu pandemic doesn’t mean it is linked to flu by either causation or correlation. Yet the concurrence cannot be discounted.

Product Description: Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a prominent and early feature of the disease, although the reason for this is unclear. Mitochondrial function is highly dependent on mitochondria morphology which is regulated by mitochondria fission and fusion proteins. In this study, we found disease-related changes in mitochondrial morphology and distribution as well as changes in expression levels and distribution of mitochondrial fission and fusion proteins. Interestingly, functional protein changes mimicking that found in AD, are correlated with similar changes in mitochondrial morphology and distribution to that observed in AD.
