We noticed that Complex II assembly factor SDHAF2 accumulates in some OXPHOS deficient cell lines but not others (1/2) https://t.co/dwxdzi1AGu

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

[Luke Formosa @drlukey_form]

So excited to be at the finish line for the @AusMito @bloodylongwalk! Amazing weather in a beautiful part of the world for a great cause! Looking forward to cheering all the bloody long walkers across the finish line!
