Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, characterized mainly by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. In neurons, many reactions are regulated by calcium (Ca2+), so that an imbalance in calcium homeostasis leading to its accumulation may contribute to this loss. Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis is controlled by influx transporter…
