Our new review is out! Likely once an independent organism, mitochondria have retained a striking degree of autonomy. We discuss their capacity to sense within—a process we refer to as mitochondrial inside-out signaling. Written by talented @furkanoflaz.bsky.social @signscaztl.bsky.social

Congratulations Andy on this beautiful study! Thanks for including us!

Happy to see our previous studies showing Miro1 resistance to mitochondrial depolarization in PD and the efficacy of Miro1-binding compounds are fully validated in independent cohorts by Julia Fitzgerald's group: doi: 10.1038/s41531-025-01115-8

We had so much fun presenting 5 posters at Stanford Bio-X Symposium!

Putative PINK1/Parkin activators lower the threshold for mitophagy by sensitizing cells to mitochondrial stress www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Mitochondrial pearling and zipping 🤔! So cool! Inspiring talk from @sulianamanley.bsky.social

Delighted to share our latest work looking at the role of the RNA-binding proteins Clu1 (yeast)/Clu (flies) in regulating the translation of #mitochondria proteins. Really interesting regulator of mito biology. Huge, long-running effort by PDRA Leonor Miller-Fleming 👏 dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Please share! We are accepting applications for the Biology Preview Program, which aims to make the PhD application process accessible and work with students to strenghten applications. Participants will receive a fee waiver, work 1:1 w/ a mentor, and meet w/faculty. Link: forms.gle/1xBShmvot5Vr...

Delighted to share our paper describing how type I interferon promotes caspase-11 hyperactivity in models of PolG-related mitochondrial disease. Thanks to all co-authors and the POLG Foundation for for their support. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our paper on regulation of BCAA catabolism by mitochondrial calcium signaling is out! Mitochondrial calcium signaling regulates branched-chain amino acid catabolism in fibrolamellar carcinoma | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Researchers in Science have developed a tool to silence specific mitochondria-encoded mRNAs in living cells, which could help scientists understand the origins of certain mitochondria-related diseases. scim.ag/3F6Wm5d

Congratulations Furkan!

New paper out from the Falkenberg and Gustafsson labs. Thanks to Pretzel for a successful collaboration. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to announce that the registration for the EMBO workshop „Mitochondria in the Nervous System“ is now open. Join us from Sep 29th to Oct 2nd in beautiful Engelberg, Switzerland! meetings.embo.org/event/25-mit...

Beautiful paper on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) stress sensing, from our postdoc Alva Sainz @signscaztl.bsky.social of her Ph.D work in the Shadel lab!

Impressive #MitoSky 🦋 in Japan! #MBSJ2024

We had a nice lab visit from Gordon Freedman, the mastermind of MitoWorld - seems a great initiative: mitoworld.org

Hi everyone, really enjoy the fresh air here and meeting new people! Thanks to @colemanlab.bsky.social for the nudge! We study everything related to mitochondria. Hope to form more connections and conversations! Some blue sky pics from a fantastic nature conference on mito and immunity in September.

Welcome to @xinnanwanglab.bsky.social - a star of mitochondrial dynamics in neurons!😀
