The Mitochondria's Role in COVID-19 | Interview

Dr. Dan Mishmar and PhD candidate Hadar Medini discuss their recent research on the mitochondria and COVID-19. Is COVID-19 more of a mitochondria dysfunction than a respiratory disease? This podcast interview is based on their peer-reviewed, published paper: Immune system cells from COVID-19 patients display compromised mitochondrial-nuclear expression co-regulation and rewiring toward glycolysis.
