Next up in the modelling IEM session, Dr @AlePrigio discusses developing brain organoid models for the study of #mitodisease. In addition to developing robust models, he has begun working on drug repurposing

Researchers at @MDC_Berlin and @HHU_de have identified a gene that affects mitochondria in an #organoid model of #Huntington’s disease. The gene may contribute to brain abnormalities much earlier than previously thought. @NatureComms @metzgerlab @AlePrigio

Do cells with impaired mitochondrial energy transformation capacity try to conserve energy? Or do they kick in higher gear and expend more energy to adapt?
