"A Mitochondrial Etiology of Common Complex Diseases" [1]
An hour-long discussion of how mitochondrial dysfunction can result in various chronic diseases, and how the assumption that an anatomical division of disease is a driving assumption for how medicine is organized, and how that may block correct description and diagnosis of disease.
The speaker is Douglas C. Wallace, Ph.D.; Director, Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine (CMEM); Professor, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
He does an especially good job of describing how malfunction in a single organelle can cause various diseases in various seemingly unrelated organs.

Hey Tucker,
ReplyDeleteGreat summary. I wrote down the slides and key points when I watched it circa July 2018 into this Google Doc. Thought you might get some use out of it for reference.
That's terrific! Thanks!
