This group uncovered alterations in thiol metabolism, and subsequent changes in the biosynthesis glutamate, serotonin and catecholamine metabolism. +Effects on sulfur metabolic pathways are increasingly implicated in models of mitochondrial disease, and represent an important direction for both research and potential therapeutic intervention. +Hilary Vernon, MD PhD
