Researchers study how the methylation of proteins affects different mitochondrial processes – News-Medical.Net

Disorders of the cells’ energy supply can cause a number of serious diseases, but also seem to be connected to aging. More research is needed on mitochondrial function to find future treatments. A new study involving researchers at Karolinska Institutet shows how an important molecule inside the mitochondria affects their function in mice and fruit flies. The study, which is published in Science Advances, adds valuable knowledge on formerly relatively unexplored protein modifications.
In each cell…
