MitoMetLab

Durante nuestra cena entregamos los 25.000 € de la II Convocatoria de Ayudas a la Investigación. El proyecto ganador, liderado por Frederic Tort, investigará nuevas estrategias diagnósticas en enfermedades mitocondriales. Para nuestros niños, la investigación es su esperanza.

ARD study shows anti-Mi2 autoantibodies target both Mi2 and AIRE via a shared PHD epitope. This cross-reactivity explains how anti-Mi2 impairs Mi2/NuRD function and deepens our understanding of the molecular mechanism of anti-Mi2 DM #Myositis #RheumTwitter doi.org/10.1016/j.ard.…

El grupo de trabajo de Organoides y el de transcriptómica de CIBERER organizamos un curso sobre cultivos celulares avanzados y transcriptómica en el estudio de enfermedades raras. Será en Sevilla del 28 al 30 de enero. Gratis pero con inscripción aquí forms.gle/LS3ZdQQ7pSKPZa…

Your mitochondria are not batteries, they’re chemical factories. And this is what they’re building.... This diagram looks complex because it is. Your mitochondria act like tiny biochemical control centers that influence how well you think, heal, detoxify, fight infection, and even age. Here’s the simple version: 1️⃣ They don’t just make energy, they make the building blocks of life. Mitochondria produce the raw materials your cells need for: -DNA & RNA -Brain chemicals -Antioxidants -Cell membranes -Repair enzymes When mitochondria slow down, everything from immunity to cognition takes a hit. 2️⃣ They run a huge “chemical circuit” that keeps your cells functioning. This network ties together: -Folate -B-vitamins -Methylation -Detox pathways -Glutathione production -DNA synthesis Mitochondria supply key molecules (like formate) that cells use to build DNA and regulate repair. This affects growth, immunity, fertility, inflammation, and aging. 3️⃣ When mitochondria falter, the effects ripple everywhere. You don’t just feel tired, you see: -More inflammation -Poor detoxification processes -Slower healing -Brain fog -Hormone imbalance -Faster aging Because the upstream control system is failing. 4️⃣ The takeaway Your mitochondria aren’t batteries. They’re the operating system that keeps your cells alive, communicating, and repairing damage. Support them… and you support everything your body is trying to do. 📄 Source: Cell (2024).
