Plants express multiple small subunits and &#8230;<\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1073\/pnas.2504764123?af=R'>Uncovering mitochondrial defects in photoreceptors opens therapeutic opportunities for Stargardt disease<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2026-04-15T07:00:00-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">April 15, 2026<\/time> <span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Simona BrillanteMariagrazia VolpeAnna DianaSantiago NegueruelaMarta MolinariRosa SaurinoEva CipollaroElena PolishchukErika TenderiniCarla DamianoPatrizia TornabeneRoman PolishchukGiancarlo ParentiAntonietta TaralloSandro BanfiIvana TrapaniSabrina CarrellaAlessia IndrieriaTelethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine, Pozzuoli 80078, ItalybInstitute for Genetic and Biomedical Research, National Research Council, Milan 20090, ItalycEuropean School of Molecular Medicine, Milan 20122, ItalydDepartment of Translational Medical Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, Naples 80131, ItalyeSantobono-Pausilipon, Laboratori di Ricerca e Biobanca, Naples 80122, ItalyfMedical Genetics, Department of Precision Medicine, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d, Naples 80138, ItalygDepartment of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, Naples 80131, ItalyhBiology and Evolution of Marine Organisms Department, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples 80121, Italy<\/span><div class=\"wp-block-rss__item-excerpt\">Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 16, April 2026.
