Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Early-Onset Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Bibliometric and Data-Driven Analysis

Abstract Early-onset neurodegenerative diseases (EO-NDs), such as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD), Parkinson’s disease (EOPD), and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS), often stem from monogenic causes and manifest before typical age thresholds. These disorders frequently feature disrupted mitochondrial function and heightened oxidative stress, which together accelerate neuronal damage and [...] Read more.
Early-onset neurodegenerative diseases (EO-NDs), such as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD), Parkinson’s disease (EOPD), and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS), often stem from monogenic causes and manifest before typical age thresholds. These disorders frequently feature disrupted mitochondrial function and heightened oxidative stress, which together accelerate neuronal damage and degeneration. In this work, the author performs a comprehensive analysis of the literature and data related to mitochondrial dysfunction and redox imbalance in EO-NDs. Bibliometric trends were assessed using R-based tools on PubMed datasets, highlighting keyword networks and publication surges in recent years. Publicly available RNA-seq datasets from GEO and SRA were examined, with example DESeq2 analysis illustrating altered mitochondrial gene expression in EO-ND patient-derived samples. Network modeling of redox pathways using Python’s networkx demonstrates how oxidative stress can propagate through metabolic networks. Together, these computational approaches reinforce that mitochondrial DNA mutations, impaired electron transport chain (ETC) function, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation play central roles in EO-ND pathogenesis. The discussion further evaluates why antioxidant clinical trials have largely failed and how emerging therapies such as gene replacement, antisense oligonucleotides, and mitochondrial biogenesis modulators may provide more effective interventions.

Advances of wearables, sensors, smart devices, and electronic health records have generated patient-oriented longitudinal data sources that are analyzed with advanced analytical tools to generate enormous opportunities to understand patient health conditions and needs, transforming healthcare significantly from conventional paradigms to more patient-specific and preventive approaches. Artificial intelligence (AI) with a machine learning methodology is prominently considered as it is uniquely suitable to derive predictions and recommendations from complex patient datasets. Recent studies have shown that precise data aggregation methods exhibit an important role in the precision and reliability of clinical outcome distribution models. There is an essential need to develop an effective and powerful multifunctional machine learning platform to enable healthcare professionals to comprehend challenging biomedical multifactorial datasets to understand patient-specific scenarios and to make better clinical decisions, potentially leading to the optimist patient outcomes. There is a substantial drive to develop the networking and interoperability of clinical systems, the laboratory, and public health. These steps are delivered in concert with efforts at enabling usefully analytic tools and technologies for making sense of the eruption of overall patient’s information from various sources. However, the full efficiency of this technology can only be eliminated when ethical, legal, and social challenges related to reducing the privacy of healthcare information are successfully absorbed. Public and media are to be informed about the capabilities and limitations of the technologies and the paramount to be balanced is juvenile public healthcare data privacy debate. While this is ongoing, the measures have been progressed from patient data protection abuses for progress to realize the full potential of AI technology for hosting the health system, with benefits for all stakeholders. Any protection program should be based on fairness, transparency, and a full commitment to data privacy. On-going innovative systems that use AI to manage clinical data and analyzes are proposed. These tools can be used by healthcare providers, especially in defining specific scenarios related to biomedical data management and analysis. These platforms ensure that the significant and potentially predictive parameters associated with the diagnosis, treatment, and progression of the disease have been recognized. With the systematic use of these solutions, this work can contribute to the realization of noticeable improvements in the provision of real-time, personalized, and efficient medicine at a reduced cost [1].
