Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an intriguing and still unsolved puzzle that has attracted, over the last decades, the interest of the scientific community. Despite the limited knowledge regarding the initial cause(s) of AD, mitochondrial abnormalities have been pinpointed as one of the earliest and strongest events related with the pathological course of this complex neurodegenerative disease. In this sense, the present chapter addresses three distinct but connected pieces of the AD puzzle: (a) how could defects of mitochondrial bioenergetics and dynamics contribute to AD pathology? (b) Could mitochondrial defects promote the disease-defining amyloid-β and tau pathologies, and vice versa? and (c) Are mitochondria feasible therapeutic targets to postpone AD symptomatology and neuropathology, and, if so, how and when? The understanding and connection of these puzzle pieces provide a more comprehensive picture about the fundamental role of mitochondrial (mal)function in the neurodegenerative processes that occur in AD and propels future research interventions aimed to forestall AD-related pathological phenotype by bolstering mitochondrial “health.”
