A fascinating discussion about designing research protocols for mitocondrial metabolic research with cancer patients, alzheimer’s patients, als, parkinsons, etc. A really illuminating walk behind the curtain.
During this talk they discuss previous research protocols, current protocols, and possible future protocols.
There is lots of promising avenues of further research around mitocondrial function. Near the end of the interview it’s mentioned that you could view metabolic syndrome moderate stage mitocondrial disfunction, and cancer/alzhimer’s/parkinsons as advanced mitocondrial disfunction - I’ve never thought of it that way, its a very compelling model.
