Seeing Double: Unmasking the Mitochondria’s Hidden Genetic Illusion
For decades, we viewed the human mitochondrial genome as a frozen, fully mapped blueprint—a compact, efficient space where every nucleotide had a single, rigid job. But groundbreaking new research (1) from the Université de Montréal and Université de Sherbrooke has revealed we were missing the hidden picture. Tucked right inside the established and heavily studied […]
Don’t let years of research depend on cryostorage 🥶
We all know that sudden wave of anxiety when a laboratory freezer alarm goes off over the weekend. For many labs, groundbreaking discoveries and years of hard work rely entirely on the survival of a few precious vials of hybridomas. Unfortunately, cell lines are not immortal—they can mutate, lose expression levels, become contaminated, or be […]
Beyond Irreversibility: Restoring the Brain’s Recycling Fleet to Combat Alzheimer’s Disease
While prior studies report NAD+ depletion in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models and partial attenuation of pathology with NAD+ precursor supplementation (1), the “more is better” approach has its limits. High doses of NAD+ precursors can produce supraphysiologic levels that may promote cancer, making them a risky long-term solution. In a recent study in Cell Reports […]
