NUCLEUS
Alzheimer's and the ER ER recognizes and targets excess proteins for degradation. If overloaded, a stress response is switched on. Prolonged stress leads to cell death and neuronal loss in Alzheimer's (who have excess protein in brain)
GOLGI APPARATUS functional and structural impairments have been found in Alzheimer’s patients

LYSOSOMES AT WORK Tay Sachs disease has dysfunctional lysosomes leads to paralysis, dementia, blindness, and death Common in Quebeckers, Jews
MITOCHONDRION
Kearns-Sayre syndrome: A neuromuscular disease caused by defects of the DNA in the mitochondria Leads to: 1. Heart disease 2. Degeneration of the retina 3. Progressive paralysis of certain eye muscles

JUNCTIONS BETWEEN CELLS Tight junction Gap junction
Defects in cell junctions can result in heart diseases such as cardiomyopathy leading to an irregular heart beat and, eventually, muscle failure. It has also been linked to Autism and Hailey- Hailey Disease.
