We noticed that Complex II assembly factor SDHAF2 accumulates in some OXPHOS deficient cell lines but not others (1/2) science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Complex II assembly drives metabolic adaptation to OXPHOS dysfunction

Succinate dehydrogenase assembly dynamics maintains metabolic homeostasis during mitochondrial oxidative stress.

More than 2800 people are walking 35km along the Mornington Peninsula to raise money and awareness for Mitochondrial Disease! I wonder how much ATP was made in their Mitos for them to do this??? #Mito @bloodylongwalk @AusMito
