New study shows rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat shock is mitigated by social conditions

Michigan State University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

How does mitochondrial DNA affect your health?

Salk Institute
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Salk scientists have created a platform to study mitochondrial DNA mutations that lead or contribute to human disease, and generated a library of 155 mitochondrial DNA mutant cells using the platform. The platform, library, and findings will accelerate therapeutic development for mitochondrial disorders, as well as help scientists treat mitochondrial dysfunction in other diseases and conditions like cancer or aging.
