discovery

And it was during one of those flights that our friends made a truly momentous discovery.

The discovery represents a major advance in understanding rare genetic conditions and illustrates how problems in cellular energy production can lead to nerve damage.

As a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Orr developed a drug discovery platform designed to find molecules that specifically suppress ROS at individual mitochondrial sites while leaving normal functions intact.

Of these, 48 were already known, 49 were known candidates awaiting confirmation, and 33 were completely new discoveries.

This conclusion was originally based on measurements of distant type Ia supernovae, a discovery that earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics.
