Muscle needs to make serine from glucose to protect the fibers from mitochondrial disease. Read our story, a tour de force of Anastasiia Marmyleva and Christopher Jackson @SWAN @STEMM Helsinki University www.cell.com/cell-reports...

De novo serine biosynthesis is protective in mitochondrial disease

Jackson et al. show that serine becomes an essential amino acid in mitochondrial muscle disease, delaying disease progression. Blocking local biosynthesis of serine challenges cellular phospholipid ho...

The final version of our work on the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is now online in @science.org 🎉
You can find the full story here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
@verenaresch.bsky.social did a wonderful job on the cover and animation, she really brought it to life 👩‍🎨
