Their likely origin (from bacteria that began cooperating with early cells) reminds us of the power of teamwork, just like in our lab, where every piece contributes to advancing our understanding of mitochondrial diseases🔬💚 121
Anna La Torre @latorrelab.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’ve spent much of my career studying the eye, but having a dear friend diagnosed with an inherited retinal disease has made this work feel much more personal.
