The initial screen unmasked hundreds of genes that overlapped, impacting both the immune and metabolic systems. From the IEM-associated genes, the de novo hexosamine synthesis enzyme – Gfpt1 – was ...

Not only do mitochondria serve as the engine of the cell – they also act as watchtowers for the immune system.
