Mitt Romney on what's influencing his vote in November besides policy: character. “Having a president who is so defaulted of character would have an enormous impact on the character of America. And for me that's the primary consideration," he tells me.

New from the lab! Mitochondria from an aged mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy have impaired creatine metabolism and oxidized mitochondrial CK (thiol labeling). Targeting mitochondria with the peptide SBT-20 rescued mitochondrial creatine metabolism + lowered H2O2. 1/3
Disrupted cardiac bioenergetics linked to oxidized mitochondrial creatine kinase are rescued by the mitochondrial-targeting peptide ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_physio

All Senate Dems      Republicans that see reason        🤝 Shutting down the government is crazy, actually
Government shutdowns don’t produce meaningful policy outcomes. Instead, they leave millions of Americans on edge and put progress on the nation’s business on ice. Congress should work to avoid a shutdown this week.

We identified a compound that binds the IF1 groove of ATP Synthase and inhibits ATP hydrolysis. In cells with impaired respiratory function, inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by CV can increase cellular ATP content even without restoring respiratory function embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…
