Research at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit is focussed on the involvement of mitochondria and their dysfunction in an ever-increasing range of human disease
So great to hear about some of the amazing work being done at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit @mrc-mbu.bsky.social yesterday. There is much more today too. Hopefully you have been able to catch up with some of the latest in #Mito research. Open to MRC MBU members only.
Having fun enthusing young and old, expert and novice, about our mitochondria research at Cambridge’s Big Biology Day #PublicEngagement #Outreach @mrc-mbu.bsky.social
Exciting study from @frisophagy.bsky.social in @chinnery in the Chinnery lab @mrc-mbu.bsky.social. Congratulations to all authors involved in the study! #mitochondria Ubiquitin-mediated mitophagy regulates the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA mutations | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Ubiquitin-mediated mitophagy regulates the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA mutations
Mitochondrial synthesis of adenosine triphosphate is essential for eukaryotic life but is dependent on the cooperation of two genomes: nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). mtDNA mutates ~15 times as...
