Next up in the modelling IEM session, Dr @AlePrigio discusses developing brain organoid models for the study of #mitodisease. In addition to developing robust models, he has begun working on drug repurposing

Researchers at @MDC_Berlin and @HHU_de have identified a gene that affects mitochondria in an #organoid model of #Huntington’s disease. The gene may contribute to brain abnormalities much earlier than previously thought. @NatureComms @metzgerlab @AlePrigio

It's out! Excited to share our latest work in Nat Comms.
We found that mutant Huntingtin impairs human neurodevelopment in brain organoid models through early disregulation of the mitochondrial protein CHCHD2.
Thanks to all coauthors!

This was quite a long project starting several years ago and a huge collaborative efforts! Mainly with @HHU_de and @MDC_Berlin but also other labs in Germany, Greece and Spain!
Great collaboration with co-last author @metzgerlab. And thanks to funding from @dfg_public

Delighted to share our latest preprint! We used iPSC-derived brain organoids and deep learning screenings to identify new drugs to treat the mitochondrial disease Leigh syndrome.
Graduate student Carmen Menacho received a Merit Award for this #ISSCR2024.
