Four mitochondrial functional tests in fibroblasts show good sensitivity and excellent specificity for diagnosing primary mitochondrial disease.

This study shows that species-specific fatty acid oxidation rates influence temporal patterning of corticogenesis through protein acetylation dynamics in human and mouse cortical progenitors.

This study shows that slower mitochondrial development and lower metabolic activity in human cortical neurons compared to mice delay neuronal maturation, and stimulating mitochondria accelerates this process.
