The TFAM-to-mtDNA ratio defines inner-cellular nucleoid populations with distinct activity levels
Authors Brüser C, Keller-Findeisen J, Jakobs S Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Reports 37, 110000, November 23, 2021. Abstract In human cells, generally a single mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is compacted into a nucleoprotein complex denoted the nucleoid. Each cell contains hundreds of nucleoids, which tend to cluster into small groups.

Gene therapy against deafness
One in 500 children is born with hearing impairment, and in 50 to 70 percent of cases a genetic defect is the cause. In a joint research project, a team led by Rüdiger Behr (German Primate Center) and MBExC spokesperson Tobias Moser (University Medical Center Göttingen) in cooperation with scientists
