Proud that this being pioneered in the UK 💪

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...

Ha. This is so accurate to how I’m spending my days.

We were shocked and disappointed to learn of the allegations made about Raynor and Moth Winn by The Observer. The article has taken everyone by surprise and has made people affected by CBD & PSP feel angry, let down and eager for clarity. Full statement: www.pspassociation.org.uk/news/pspas-r...

This is quite shocking and saddening if true.

🎉Excited to share our latest paper, published in Nature Communications!🎉 "Enhancing autophagy by redox regulation extends lifespan in Drosophila" #redox #metabolism #ageing #Drosophila @natcomms.nature.com @mrc-lms.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Check out the #LMSnews story on the @mrc-lms.bsky.social website about our latest study published in @natcomms.nature.com! Illustrated by multi-talented first author #postdoc #painter @claudialennicke.bsky.social 💛 #redox #cysteine #sciart

Delighted to announce Prof Miratul Muqit as Centre Director of our groundbreaking new Parkinson's Research Centre, a partnership with @parkinsons.org.uk!🎉👏 Prof Muqit is a world leader in Parkinson’s research, having made major contributions to understanding genetic risk👉 buff.ly/etNUa4b

Very useful overview, especially for the Drosophila-curious. It’s easy to bring the power of fly genetics to your neurobiology questions.

This week I will be finally presenting my postdoc data in an exciting webinar on #ubiquitin biology, together with an old classmate of mine. If your interested, follow the link below

Great post doc opportunity 👇

Thank you @crisprflydesign.bsky.social for continuing to develop cutting edge tools that help maintain #Drosophila as still the best animal model for genetic manipulation

Yes! Join the network, folk. It’s fun

Want to understand how mitochondrial disruptions lead to neurodenegeneration? We have an ideal opening for a new graduate or experienced research assistant. Looking for skills in molecular and cell biology, microscopy, and experience with #Drosophila would be a plus. Just a few days left to 👇👇

Fly journal is now on BlueSky! The world’s only academic journal dedicated to research on Drosophila & cognate insects. A fully open-access journal that combines rapid publication with high standards of peer-review. For further info and how to submit your work, see the link.

📣Job alert🎉 Want to join a dynamic team investigating mitochondria in neurodegeneration in Cambridge @mrc-mbu.bsky.social? Keen to use the power of fly genetics? We’re recruiting a Research Assistant from July. Perfect for a finishing under/postgrad. Get in touch! www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50944/

Well, who knows what bs to believe any more? This must be the government efficiency Musk was going for.

Whaaat?! Richard Youle? Is this real???? 😱

Congrat @abelljonny.bsky.social and the team. Cool stuff

😱🎉

Interesting insights into mito dysfunction and ageing.

@mrc-mbu.bsky.social all set to entertain the public @cambridgefestival.bsky.social Come and join us at CAST, Cambridge, and learn about our amazing work to understand all things #mitochondria in health and disease

Congrats Rob. Looking forward to great things.

Yes some interesting ideas. I’ve long thought that there should be some kind of indicator for mentor/group culture otherwise it’s very ad hoc. I always get short-listed applicants to meet with my group separately to find out what it’s really like working in our team

Exactly. Just the kind of study that no one will have the capacity or inclination to replicate, to support or refute.

Hello! 👋 We've joined the Bluesky community to connect again with all those interested in #mitochondria. 😎🥼🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧪

Want to perform HIGH EFFICIENCY Homology Directed Repair in Drosophila spp? Try Atalanta plasmids. About 10X higher efficiency than other methods! Tag or delete genes, invert chromosome regions, make scarless site-specific modifications. All with easy cloning. This paper is proudly bioRxiv only!

My wonderful team marked a certain major milestone (ahem) with cake and candles at lab meeting today 🙏🎉. Thank you, folks, for caring

I appreciate that one of author Mostofi’s contributions was “writhing” 😬. S/he must have felt a little uncomfortable about some of the contents

📣 PhD alert 📣 Congratulations to our latest PhD student, Maddy Twyning, to complete 🎉

detection of membrane contact dynamics and Ca2+ signals w/ nice acronym- PRINCESS (PRobe for INterorganelle Ca2+-Exchange Sites based on SplitFAST), a class of reporters to simultaneously detect MCSs and measure the associated Ca2+ dynamics using a single biosensor www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I thought connecting current and past members of MBU Mitochondrial Biology Unit Cambridge would be useful. Please note that this is a work in progress and that more people will be added. 🔄 Anyone missing? Additions welcome! go.bsky.app/9ATZngh

Hullooooo Cell Biology friends. If you're heading to #CellBio2024 in (hopefully!) sunny San Diego this year, then come and check out our session on 'ER structure and function across cell types' Room28C- Dec18th 09:00am! See you there! **Please RT** 🥳

It's been a busy few weeks at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit at the University of Cambridge, but finally managed to carve out some time to get set up here. Ditching the other place for now after the egregious damage it has done to democracy. Friends and followers please disseminate our new link
