The paper investigates how mitochondrial energy capacity affects brain function during cognitive, sensory, and affective tasks, finding that working memory is more vulnerable to energetic stress than sensory or affective processes.

The paper profiles mitochondrial phenotypes in immune cells of mitochondrial disease patients and finds they are largely preserved and not strongly linked to disease severity.

This paper shows that GDF15 levels rise with psychosocial stress, depression, anxiety, and biological aging, and that saliva GDF15 has a distinct diurnal pattern and responds rapidly to acute stress.
