⚡️Mitochondria make ATP, the energy that powers life. But in neurons, with axons up to a meter long, how do these tiny power plants stay functional in the right places? We went looking. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Huge congratulations to Abigail Giles whose paper has just come out in Nature Cardiovascular Research - from a great collaboration with Bob Balaban, along with Thomas Krieg and Tish Murphy. doi.org/10.1038/s441...

Excited to share our new paper on high-throughput #optogenetic #exercise assays for tissue engineered skeletal muscle! We leverage a multi-well stimulation apparatus to study how exercise regimen of various durations + frequencies impact muscle gene expression: doi.org/10.1002/btm2... #myoblue

Nice work and congrats @kevinmurachphd.bsky.social & colleagues for their new #SkeletalMuscle paper: Displaced myonuclei are attributable to both resident myonuclear migration and stem cell fusion during mechanical loading in adult skeletal muscle. #Myoblue tinyurl.com/3vhxwku4

NCLX is a mitochondrial proton/calcium exchanger, not a sodium/calcium exchanger as previously thought www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to have contributed to this beautiful work led by @elenaberezhnaya.bsky.social and Dr. Gyorgy Hajnoczky, and thrilled to see it finally out! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 MICU2 controls mitochondrial calcium signaling and migration in neurons during development: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Curious about muscle metabolism? 🚴‍♂️ We reveal PanK4 as a conserved exercise target in muscle! 💪 PanK4 regulates lipid & glucose use likely via acetyl-CoA. We think PanK4 belongs alongside Akt, mTOR, AMPK, Rac1 & more as a key player in muscle energy homeostasis. #Metabolism #MyoBlue
