New article from @TheElrodLab in @NatMetabolism reveals that TMEM65 is crucial for NCLX-dependent mitochondrial calcium efflux. Loss of TMEM65 leads to calcium overload, cell death, and organ dysfunction, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

A new discovery made by #KatzTempleMed scientists could help the design of new therapeutic agents to combat calcium overload of mitochondria in conditions such as heart failure and Alzheimer’s disease. Read more about the study at medicine.temple.edu/discover… @TheElrodLab
