In this new review Wittich et al., including @aleprigio.bsky.social, discuss human stem cell–derived #organoids as increasingly powerful 3D models for #drugdiscovery, improving disease modeling & drug screening by better capturing human tissue structure & function.

Thank you very much @mitoworld.bsky.social for highlighting our work and the upcoming trial!
We plan to start recruiting individuals with MT-ATP6 variants later this year.

A patient‑derived iPSC screen by Prigione identified sildenafil as a potential therapy for #LeighSyndrome, a devastating #mitochondrialdisease. @cp-cell.bsky.social
Now recruiting for clinical trials!

Fantastic work from @andrearossilab.bsky.social Rossi lab on the development of @cleanfinder.bsky.social for nuclear and mitochondrial genome editing application. Greatful that my lab have contributed!
Thanks Leo for sharing! 🙏
Our spotlight article is out in Cell Metabolism highlighting the exciting publication by Du et al in Cell showing the effectiveness of mitochondrial transplantation @cellpress.bsky.social

Super excited to share our latest work! In collaboration with Antonio del Sol, we show that brain organoids coupled with deep learning screening allow uncovering new repurposable drugs for the incurable mitochondrial disease Leigh syndrome.

Excited to share that our work on CleanFinder is published in Trends in Biotechnology! 🎉
Analyzing complex allele mixtures across editing modalities and sequencing platforms is a major bottleneck. We developed CleanFinder to solve this.
Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Genome editing often generates complex mixtures of alleles rather than single, predefined outcomes. Resolving these heterogeneous edits across diverse…
