The Molecular Anatomy of Mitochondrial Disease: Identification and Characterisation of Novel Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial Disease Genes
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders typically associated with abnormal oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). In recent years, next generation sequencing technologies have ... -
Genetic characterisation of the Drosophila Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter in physiological and neurodegenerative contexts
Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are a growing medical and social burden for which no disease-modifying therapies exist, necessitating greater understanding of their ... -
Chemical Strategies for Delivery of Compounds to Mitochondria
(2019-11-30)Mitochondria are involved in numerous processes vital for cellular homeostasis, therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to a wide range of diseases. Understanding mitochondrial function in health and disease is crucial ... -
Identification and characterisation of new factors and mechanisms regulating human cytochrome c oxidase biogenesis
(2019-05-18)Assembly of the mitochondrial complex IV (CIV) or cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is an intricate and highly regulated process in which the three-core mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encoded subunits assemble in a coordinated way ...
