A group of us from the LifeArc Centre for Rare Mitochondrial Diseases bit.ly/4moq7xV attended the LifeArc Translational Centres for Rare Diseases Annual Showcase yesterday @lifearc.bsky.social. Great to make connections and share knowledge with the other rare disease centres
#LifeArc #rarediseases

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.

Congratulations to @lucialugut.bsky.social who passed her PhD with flying colours last week; and with no thesis corrections ☺️🎓👏

A Publication of interest 🎓 🧬 💚

Organelle-tuning condition robustly fabricates energetic mitochondria for cartilage regeneration. Link to paper: bit.ly/41Xwxg5

The recent report published by @lifearc.bsky.social and @geneticallianceuk.bsky.social gives several recommendations on how we can #ChangeTheRareFuture and get treatments to people with rare conditions faster.
