Canada’s research and scientific spending is declining relative to other nations, Council of Canadian Academies report says, by @ivansemeniuk.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/scien... via @theglobeandmail.com

New CRN Team Desjardins #preprint and #publication! ⬅️ LRRK2(G2019S) disrupts iron balance in macrophages, blocking ferritinophagy under iron overload bit.ly/47VzxvC ➡️ LRRK2(G2019S) mutant mice show stronger gut inflammation post-infection, linking gut immune changes to early PD bit.ly/3LVKlCk

We wrote the Strain on scientific publishing to highlight the problems of time & trust. With a fantastic group of co-authors, we present The Drain of Scientific Publishing: a 🧵 1/n Drain: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Strain: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... Oligopoly: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

Montreal #mitochondria lovers! Come and join us at the next MitoClub!

CRISPR screen by @mitodynamics.bsky.social & colleagues identifies Mitochondrial anchored protein ligase (MAPL) as a regulator of gasdermin-mediated release of mtDNA from lysosomes, driving pyroptotic cell death; Depletion of MAPL, LRRK2 or VPS35 blocks cell death www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mitochondrial anchored protein ligase (MAPL) induces pyroptosis through an inflammatory pathway involving mitochondria and lysosomes @natcellbio.nature.com @mitodynamics.bsky.social @mitocollier.bsky.social @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper - MAPL strikes again! Interested in mitochondrial signalling, inflammation, lysosome biology, pyroptosis, and Parkinson's disease? Have a look, there's something for everyone! Feeling grateful! @mitocollier.bsky.social Funded by #CIHR, @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org. rdcu.be/eKKz1 🇨🇦

Also in this Issue: - Editorial from Ana Garcia-Saez & @mitodynamics.bsky.social - Interviews with Tom MacVicar, Samantha Lewis & Heidi McBride - Mitochondria–membrane contacts poster - Quality control of un-imported mitochondrial proteins poster - Mitochondrial cholesterol transport Perspective

Thank you to everyone who submitted and reviewed! And to Seema and the editors for making it a seamless experience. Keep sending your work to JCS - it’s a fantastic journal and a science family that cares.

youtube.com/watch?v=V11q... The election in Canada is so important. Please give this thoughtful interview a listen before you vote. Canada can provide leadership and vision through this tumultuous period if we put Carney the helm.

So happy to see the swell of science activism today! Never forget the power you have. US innovation is second to none - use it now! We may boo your dear leader but we’ve got your back!

In Melbourne for Aussiemit2024! Grateful for the invitation and excited to catch up with the awesome Aussie science.

www.mcgill.ca/neuro/channe... My laboratory discovered a mechanism to make Lewy Bodies in dopaminergic neurons. Lewy Bodies are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. The key? Immune challenge, demonstrating a role for the immune system in Parkinson's

People working on #cancermetabolism, #mitochondrialbiology, #metabolism, please reach out! Share this so I can follow who is here! I will share paper on cancer metabolism, but anything else related to mitochondria and metabolism.

Hello! Just migrating over in search of some good science, cell biology, mitochondria, and all things new and exciting.
