The lecture by Elena Palma at #SLDSummit highlighted the need for deeper understanding of mitochondrial dynamics, their role in disease progression, and the development of targeted therapies, such as those enhancing mitophagy and biogenesis. Future research should focus on refining experimental models, characterising new disease subtypes like metALD, and exploring phenomena like mega-mitochondria and subpopulations of mitochondria with distinct functions. ✨Advancing these insights may provide therapeutic breakthroughs and improve the management of SLD.

So happy to announce my first 1st-author publication, on immunological signatures of disease severity and response to #ursodeoxycholate (UDC) in #PrimaryBiliaryCholangitis (#PBC) doi.org/10.3390/ijms26020605 @MDPIopenaccess @IJMS_MDPI @DrAntonioRiva @Inst_of_Liver #LiverTwitter

I am thrilled to share that I start my new role as postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Plymouth on 1st of October working with Professor Shilpa Chokshi to investigate the effect of nanoplastics in human health 🥂 🍾

Our new Environmental Hepatology lab space is getting ready 🤩 Loads of new equipment coming this way 🙌🏻 @HepatoPlymouth @RDInUHP @PlymUniResearch @PlymUni

Microplastic pollution is an environmental and public health crisis, with little action being taken. A new @ScienceMagazine review by @ProfRThompson and colleagues is outstanding science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

📣Passionate about #mitochondria? Do you believe the best has yet to come for mitochondria-targeted therapies? 🤩😍🥼 Join the Mitochondrial Medicine for Liver Disease group @DrElePalma here @Inst_of_Hep! Apply here 👇🏼 liver-research.org.uk/liver-…
