It’s #MitoWeek, the week of our favourite organelles. 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🔬💚

While some lab members are in Japan (!) for 2 different conferences, we're looking back at the meetings we've taken part in this semester. Read our latest blog post for the highlights, and join us in trying not to be too jealous of our colleagues in Japan webs.uab.cat/mitochondria...

10/12-year-old students from the CROMA programme, organized by the @fas-uab.bsky.social, visited our lab yesterday. We loved discussing science with them!

Last Friday, Albert took part in the #STEMTalksMenorca2026, organized by the GDG Menorca, talking about the research we do in the lab. For once, he was surrounded by engineering students instead of biomed people! And all happened in an amazing spot at the Port of Maó 😍

3/ Todavía no existe una cura, pero hay 2 vías en investigación:  1️⃣Terapia génica que reemplace el gen mutado. 2️⃣Fármacos que frenan la disfunción mitocondrial. Hablamos con @quintanalab.bsky.social ( @incuab.bsky.social)que estudia cómo afectan estas enfermedades a la degeneración neuronal.🤔⬇️

Mitochondrial-associated epilepsy is often progressive & difficult to control. Here, Albert Quintana & team uncover how faulty brain wiring drives mitochondrial epilepsy in Leigh syndrome mouse model, proposing ways to stop seizures in otherwise untreatable childhood cases: doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...

🪫 Mitochondrial diseases damage the body's energy production systems. With #HealthResearch, @quintanalab.bsky.social (@incuab.bsky.social) is investigating whether cells can mistake this damage for a viral attack, which would be aggravating the disease. 👇 tinyurl.com/bdfeb2k9

A few days ago, Albert joined Ràdio Santa Perpètua to talk about the research we’re doing at the lab. If you’re interested in #rarediseases and #mitochondrialdisease and how we work to find a cure, tune in to 107 FM tomorrow at 2 p.m. to hear their fascinating conversation! 📻

Proud to highlight the contribution of Sandra Jurado & María Royo to a new study with @quintanalab.bsky.social, exploring alterations in the excitation/inhibition balance in the external globus pallidus (GPe) linked to mitochondrial-disease-induced epilepsy 👇

We were at the #INcUAB25 last week. Great talks and company! Marcos, Günter and Armin gave fantastic presentations (Günter won an award!), Irene got Best Poster, and Emma et al. (coordinated by Albert) were recognized for the Featured Article 2024. Congraaats!

It’s #Mitoweek, a week to raise awareness for #mitochondrialdisease. Perfect time to launch our new site quintanalab.org :) and show we’re working nonstop to find treatments💚 So busy finding cures, we had to ask AI to generate a pic for the post, with amazing results 😅

Albert was on TV yesterday, at the final ceremony of La Marató 2019, where researchers presented the results of all the funded projects. With some makeup on, Albert talked about Leigh syndrome and the advancements achieved thanks to La Marató funding 💚

La Marató del 2019 va recaptar diners per investigar sobre malalties minoritàries. Entre els projectes escollits, hi havia els dels Drs JM López Blanco i el @quintanalab.bsky.social, que buscaven tractaments per la malaltia de Lesch-Nyhan i la síndrome de Leigh. Ahir es presentaven els resultats 📺🔬

Last Friday, we stepped away from the lab for our traditional calçotada—and it couldn’t have been better! It was a great chance to unwind, enjoy some amazing food, and spend quality time together beyond the pipettes and tubes. Looking forward to the next one!

A new protocol for microglial analysis has been developed by @quintanalab.bsky.social. Microglial cells are key brain immune cells, adapting their dense, dendrite-like morphology based on inflammatory status. Read our #articledeldia here: bio-protocol.org/en/bpdetail?... 🧵(1/6)

Great visit yesterday from @wakeforest.bsky.social students to our campus, hosted by Dr. @rosernadal.bsky.social They explored our molecular biology, microscopy, and histology facilities and had the chance to visit the Anderolab and the @quintanalab.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to meet them!
