Rarity[edit]
I understand this condition is very rare with there being only about 19 people in the UK with MELAS. Could someone with expert knowledge add something about the commonness of this condition? Nunquam Dormio (talk) 17:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
National Library of Medicine Source[edit]
I was just noticing that substatial parts of this edit seem to be verbatim from this page from the U.S. National Library of Medicine web site. The copyright for that site here reads in part "Government information at NLM Web sites is in the public domain. Public domain information may be freely distributed and copied, but it is requested that in any subsequent use the National Library of Medicine (NLM) be given appropriate acknowledgement." I think this ought to fulfill the project's requirement to give such acknowledgement. Pete.Hurd (talk) 07:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Artherosclerosis[edit]
Due to mitochondrial leaking of ROS, the buildup of necrosing endothelial cells will cause artherosclerosis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avkrules (talk • contribs) 05:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
