Powerhouse Podcast #30: Making Sense of Mito - FBXL4-Associated Mitochondrial Disease

Introducing a special episode of the Powerhouse Podcast: Making Sense of Mito - FBXL4-Associated Mitochondrial Disease. This special edition episode spotlights researchers and the years of scientific work to understand FBXL4 alongside the stories and perspectives of parents of children impacted by FBXL4-associated mitochondrial disease. Helping to Make Sense of Mito are our co-hosts: two researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, Keri-Lyn Kozul, PhD and Hannah Pletcher, and mito mom/podcaster/foundation co-founder, Susan Geoghegan. This special episode bridges the gap to tell the story of FBXL4, bringing together the "team" working toward treatments, including the patient families and the scientists
