Did you know that #mitochondria love to talk with other cell parts like #lysosomes? Join us for the next MitoTalks Down Under next Thursday with Assistant Prof. Yvette Wong from @NorthwesternU who is listening in on that conversation and how it impacts health and disease! ๐๐
Looking forward to what is sure to be a very interesting seminar tomorrow by Dr Nora Vogtel! Hope you can join us then! The details in the tweet below ๐๐๐ #mitochondria
We are back for another year of MitoTalks Down Under! We are excited to announce @JessicaSpinel16 from the @WhiteheadInst will kick things off by showing us the untapped potential of the electron transport chain! Join us Tues 29th of March at 11 am AEDT to hear all about it!
We are delighted to announce that Prof Rita Horvath @HorvathLab from @Cambridge_Uni will be the next speaker for @MitoTalksDU next Wednesday! We are excited for what is sure to be a great presentation on the tissue-specific phenotypes in #mitochondrialdisease. Details below๐
Are you interested in patient-derived cell models, brain organoids or #mitochondria? Then you won't want to miss @AlePrigio presenting at the next MitoTalks Down Under! We can't wait to hear how these are applied for #MitochondrialDisease drug discovery. Check out the details! ๐
We are excited to announce Prof. Thomas Langer @langer_lab from @MPIAGE will be our next guest speaker for @MitoTalksDU! Interested in how proteases reprogram mitochondrial function? Be sure to lock this one in your calendar! Check out the details below ๐
We are very excited to have Dr Sarah Calvo from @harvardmed and the @VamsiMootha lab for the next instalment of MitoTalks Down Under next week! Check out the details below ๐

Modelling Mitochondrial Disease in hPSCs: What Have We Learned?

mtDNA heteroplasmy variation in #stemcells & following reprogramming poses a significant challenge, particularly for mtDNA hPSC models. The good news is it appears manageable for the purposes of treatment studies, with many groups showing it to be stable following directed diffs.
Fantastic (and very thorough!) review by @yaulow@CMitoKnight & @ae_frazier
If you like mitochondria & stem cells give it a read!
