New publication from our group. We examine the primary functional consequences of mtDNA mutations across major organ systems. Spoiler: the cumulative mutational burden broadly phenocopies a complex I deficiency. cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…

This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥

GDF15 is the best biomarker of energetic stress and energy resistance (éR)
New paper showing that GDF15 is on average elevated people with diagnoses of schizophrenia ( 61%), bipolar disease ( 56%), and major depressive disorder ( 82%)
Consistent with the notion that mental health disorders are energetic disorders @ChrisPalmerMD

📢New @KFW_Lab paper out!
AML mitochondria remain unperturbed & phenotypically stable under diverse nutrient conditions. And rather than specific nutrients or physiological relevance, AML cell proliferation is influenced by the complete nutrient profile
