Research: Altered protein modifications in mitochondrial disease

Our latest paper is out! In collaboration with the Frizzell lab at the University of South Carolina we have published the article titled: “Succination is increased on select proteins in the brainstem of the Ndufs4 knockout mouse, a model of Leigh syndrome.”  in the journal Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. In this paper, we have been able […]

A busy couple of months!

It’s been a while since the last post, and for a good reason! It has been a really hectic couple of months… But first things first… During these months the lab space has taken shape, there is still some construction going on, but the main lab space is done. You can take a look at […]

The Quintana lab goes across the pond…

It has been an eventful couple of months for the Quintana lab. It all started when we received a great offer to locate the lab at the Institute of Neurosciences at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, in the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain and have our research funded by one of the prestigious ERC Starting Grants (NEUROMITO: […]

Our latest paper is out!

We are really excited that our latest paper, in collaboration with the Bellen lab at Baylor, has been published in the prestigious journal Cell. Our work, titled: Glial lipid droplets and ROS induced by mitochondrial defects promote neurodegeneration, has identified a conserved mechanism that leads to neuronal death after mitochondrial defects. In this study, the Bellen […]
