Journal ArticleDOI
A Common Pathway for a Rare Disease
TL;DR: Rapamycin, a compound that inhibits a protein kinase called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), delays the onset and progression of neurological symptoms in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A chemical epistasis approach is described that can be useful in refining the mechanism of statin muscle toxicity, as well as in screening for agents that suppress muscle toxicity while preserving the ability of statins to increase the expression of the low-density lipoprotein receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of LUC7L2 and U1 snRNP subunits shifts energy metabolism from glycolysis to OXPHOS.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on genes whose loss leads to an increase in Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity and show that these genes are enriched for components of the pre-mRNA splicing machinery, in particular for subunits of the U1 snRNP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inborn variation in metabolism
TL;DR: A new study couples analytical biochemistry technology with genome-wide genetic analysis to explore inherited variation in human metabolism and obtains global snapshots of metabolism.
