See original tweetorial for detailed summary and below for a few broader points.
Excited to share the lab’s first ever pre-print exploring the specific role of OXPHOS in AML! What we found might surprise you. Click👇 for paper access and please don't hesitate to provide some feedback. See🧵for details. @researchsquare

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…

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
