Proud by my doc work presentation: "NLRP3/IL-1R axis plays a pivotal role in the cardiac muscle tissue remodeling observed in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy". My sincerely thanks to everyone that became it possible to me.

Energy transformation requires resistance, always

Tatiana Coelho Sampaio passou 25 anos pesquisando proteína da placenta até desenvolver o medicamento que reestabelece movimentos em pessoas tetraplégicas. Só o currículo dela tem 40 páginas. Ciência não nasce do dia para noite, mas os resultados mudam o rumo da história.

@LeonardoMatta Nice job my friend. 👏

Human mitochondria connect with each other at a distance through thin membrane protrusions called "nanotunnels"

As if they are "reaching out for help". Mitochondria in people with mitochondrial diseases show more nanotunnels in healthy mitochondria do.

Below is one of the most beautiful image of nanotunnels we ever captured. Depending on your preference, this is either a single mitochondrion with four nodes, or four mitochondria interconnected network through three nanotunnels.

More on mitochondrial nanotunnels here: https://t.co/uwaQnwI6DL

I'am proud and grateful to have been part of this working group. And happy for this publication showing that: Chronic inflammation's connection to atrial fibrillation points to IL-1β as a promising treatment target.
