		<description><![CDATA[Researchers at Columbia University are recruiting for a trial of four nutrients that may support improved mitochondrial energy production in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) patients. The trial, set to start in February, will be randomized, double blinded, and placebo controlled, and now listed in ClinicalTrials.gov (&#8220;Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Correction of Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Conditioning Exercise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very happy to report that Autism Speaks is starting to seriously consider mitochondrial dysfunction and its relationship to autism. While the Hannah Poling case initially got everyone jumping up and down about the connection between vaccines and autism, once again, the more important thing that should have come from that case is that Hannah [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, December 10, 2009, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), introduced S. 2858 &#8211; “The Brittany Wilkinson Mitochondrial Disease Research and Treatment Enhancement Act of 2009”. Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), John Kerry (D-MA) and Robert P. Casey (D-PA) all signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation. The house measure is a companion bill, HR 3502, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent study, researchers found more evidence to possibly connect autism and mitochondrial disease. The article, Fever Plus Mitochondrial Disease Could Be Risk Factors for Autistic Regression, is not yet fully published, but the abstract indicates a possible link. Their study was based upon twenty-eight (28) patients who fit both the criteria for autism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time, researchers have now determined that chronic kidney disease/hemodyalisis patients have impaired mitochondrial function. In fact, their conclusion drawn thus far indicates that the mitochondrial dysfunction may be the cause of their disease! You can read about the research here. This is yet another reason why we need to increase research into [...]]]></description>

With the H1N1 (Swine Flu) running rampant around the globe, and as the cold and flu season ramps up in the United States, mito families need to re-evaluate the amount of [...]]]></description>

The drug is targeted to treat Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, but it may be one that we need to look at for treatment of mitochondrial disease as well. Dimebon, according to Pfizer, is thought to potentially stabilize or improve mitochondrial function in a [...]]]></description>
