🧬 It’s World Mitochondrial Disease Week
Mitochondrial diseases are a diverse group of genetic disorders that can disrupt cellular energy production and affect multiple organs.
This year’s theme: Putting Mito on the Map 💚
#WorldMitoWeek2026 #MitochondrialDisease #Mitochondria #Immunopaedia
Today is the last day of #WorldMitoWeek2026 – but the impact and momentum keep growing, and more people are finding connection, support, and hope. #PuttingMitoOnTheMap #MitochondrialDisease #Biosky
💚 Tomorrow, September 19, is Light Up for Mito Day!
Many landmarks will glow green to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease. Light up your home in green and share your photo!
Let’s light up the world for mitochondria. 💚
#LightUpForMito #MitochondrialDisease #MitoAwareness #Mitochondria
Progress for #MitochondrialDisease depends on collaboration. That’s why we’re dedicated to listening to and partnering with patients, families, clinicians, advocates, and patient orgs. Together, we’re #PuttingMitoOnTheMap. #WorldMitoWeek2026 @MitoAware #Biosky
#PuttingMitoOnTheMap starts with people – speaking up, sharing info, elevating patient voices. We’re proud to support the advocacy groups across the globe who are working tirelessly to ensure mito is recognized. #WorldMitoWeek2026 #MitochondrialDisease #Biosky
This week's highlights from @cvasilescu.bsky.social @biomednews.bsky.social include:
💥 #Mitochondria in #Neurobiology: Cellular Vulnerability to Therapeutic Opportunity
💥ND6 Restores #Vision in #MitochondrialDisease
💥Mitochondrial #Proteostasis Links #Diabetes & #Sarcopenia
#MitochondrialDisease can affect any organ, at any age, with a wide range of symptoms, making it one of the most challenging conditions to recognize. But better awareness creates opportunities for meaningful and lasting change. @MitoAware #WorldMitoWeek2026 #PuttingMitoOnTheMap #Biosky
Tomorrow marks the start of World Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week! 💚🌍
Together, we can make more people aware of mito. Together, we can put mito on the map.
