Visual recovery in patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy and the 11778 mutation.

TL;DR: Five patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and the 11778 mitochondrial mutation spontaneously recovered 20/40 or better visual acuity in at least one eye after months to years of legal blindness, indicating that a few individuals do recover near-normal vision even years after the initial visual loss.

Mitochondria as Chi

TL;DR: The causes of these diseases remain a mystery, while their incidence and morbidity either remain constant or are increasing (Wallace 2005b) as discussed by the authors, while their causes remain unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoplastic transformation is associated with coordinate induction of nuclear and cytoplasmic oxidative phosphorylation genes.

TL;DR: Examining three pairs of human diploid fibroblasts and their SV 40-transformed counterparts revealed that mRNAs for the nuclear-encoded ATP synthase beta and the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) isoform 1 and 2 genes were markedly induced, whereas the mRNA for the ANT isoform 3 gene remained unchanged.
