MRC MBU

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 a great Big Biology Day! 😎

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

#BigBiologyDay at Hills Road Sixth Form College- we’re ready!

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...

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

Clinically translatable mitochondrial gene therapy in muscle using tandem mtZFN architecture | EMBO Molecular Medicine imageimageEfficient mitochondrial gene therapy is achieved with a novel tandem zinc finger nuclease (mtZFN) architecture delivered via adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, significantly reducing mutation loads in muscle tissue and rescuing ...

Huge congrats to Pavel Nash on publishing his PhD work! 🎉 We showcase a safer mtDNA gene therapy using a novel mtZFN architecture compatible with a single AAV. Thanks to the entire team! @mrc-mbu.bsky.social
