Abstract

Mitochondria are an essential intracellular organelle for medication targeting and delivery since they seem to create energy and conduct many other cellular tasks, and mitochondrial dysfunctions and malfunctions lead to many illnesses. Many initiatives have been taken to detect, diagnose, and image mitochondrial abnormalities, and to transport and accumulate medicines precisely to mitochondria, all because of special mitochondrial aspects of the pathophysiology of cancer. In addition to the negative membrane potential and paradoxical mitochondrial dynamics, they include high temperatures, high levels of reactive oxygen species, high levels of glutathione, and high temperatures. Neurodegenerative diseases represent a broad spectrum of debilitating illnesses. They are linked to the loss of certain groups of neurons based on an individual's physiology or anatomy. The mitochondria in a cell are generally accepted as the authority with respect to ATP production. Disruption of this system is linked to several cellular physiological issues. The development of neurodegenerative disorders has been linked to mitochondrial malfunction, according to pathophysiological studies. There seems to be substantial evidence connecting mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. It has been extensively observed that mitochondrial malfunction triggers autophagy, which plays a role in neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, excitotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. The pathophysiology of neurodegenerative illnesses has been linked to increased apoptosis and necrosis, as well as mitochondrial malfunction. A variety of synthetic and natural treatments have shown efficacy in treating neurodegenerative illnesses caused by mitochondrial failure. Neurodegenerative illnesses can be effectively treated with existing drugs that target mitochondria, although their precise formulations are poorly understood. Therefore, there is an immediate need to focus on creating drug delivery methods specifically targeted at mitochondria in the treatment and diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders.
