Mitochondria and human disease

卡罗琳·苏是一位神经学家和科学家，研究线粒体功能紊乱在人类疾病中的作用。线粒体在维持能量水平和细胞健康方面起着关键作用。当这一功能受损时，细胞可能退化或死亡，从而导致人类疾病。苏博士的研究旨在寻求更好的治疗线粒体疾病的方法，并进一步了解线粒体失效时脑细胞是如何退化的。

Carolyn Sue is a neurologist and scientist investigating the role of disturbed mitochondrial function in human disease. Mitochondria play a key role in maintaining energy levels and the cell’s health. When this function is impaired, cells may degenerate or die, and thus cause human disease. Dr Sue’s research is aimed at seeking improved treatments to treat mitochondrial disease and to further understanding about how brain cells degenerate when the mitochondria fail.
