#mitochondrialgenome — Public Fediverse posts

#Balanomorpha is a clade of #barnacles of the higher taxon#Cirripedia (Crustacea). Here #sessile adults of the invasive #Balanus #trigonus with their typical ribbed #shells, secreted by pouch-like carapaces. M.Zhang et al. (2023) isolated the #mitochondrialgenome of another neozoon: Megabalanus coccopoma,thus establishing it as #scientificmodel.

What is the therapeutic potential of correcting mutations by base editing of the #MitochondrialGenome? This study shows that #mitochondrial #BaseEditing can indeed functionally create & correct mitochondrial pathogenic #mutations in patient-derived cells @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3ZMa2K2
