    A high mutation load of m.14597A>G in MT-ND6 causes Leigh syndrome

    Leigh syndrome (LS) is an early-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with mitochondrial deficiency. m.14597A>G (p.Ile26Thr) in the MT-ND6 gene was reported to cause Leberʼs hereditary optic neu...

    Disruption of the mouse Shmt2 gene confers embryonic anaemia via foetal liver-specific metabolomic disorders

    In a previous study, we proposed that age-related mitochondrial respiration defects observed in elderly subjects are partially due to age-associated downregulation of nuclear-encoded genes, including serine hydro...

    Mice deficient in the Shmt2 gene have mitochondrial respiration defects and are embryonic lethal

    Accumulation of somatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been proposed to be responsible for human aging and age-associated mitochondrial respiration defects. However, our previous findings suggested...

    RLR-mediated antiviral innate immunity requires oxidative phosphorylation activity

    Mitochondria act as a platform for antiviral innate immunity, and the immune system depends on activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLR) signaling pathway via an adaptor mol...

    Correction: Corrigendum: Epigenetic regulation of the nuclear-coded GCAT and SHMT2 genes confers human age-associated mitochondrial respiration defects

    Age-associated accumulation of somatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been proposed to be responsible for the age-associated mitochondrial respiration defects found in elderly human subjects. We ca...
