MitoTracker transfers from astrocytes to neurons independently of mitochondria The mitochondrial dye MitoTracker is commonly used to investigate intercellular mitochondrial transfer (IMT), particularly between astrocytes and neurons. Hole et al. compare MitoTracker with a geneti...

⚡️We are excited to share a new paper from the lab by @drkhole.bsky.social in @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social - suggesting MitoTracker dyes are not a reliable tool for detecting intercellular mitochondrial transfer❗️ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

We use this same oil and never had this problem... I usually add a lot of oil. Maybe it's worth emailing Zeiss

Why did you have to point this out? Now I can never unsee it 😭😭

Super cool, Ines!!!!

I was also doing the trickiest part of my experiment and my hands got shaky which *really didn't help*

Self-renewal of neuronal mitochondria through asymmetric division - preLights Neurons contain “hotspots” for mitochondrial biogenesis at distal branch points

The moment to celebrate a paper is when it’s shared with the world, not when it passes the arbitrary hurdle of “acceptance”

Schwarz lab @bostonchildrens.bsky.social identify a mechanism coupling mitochondrial movement to energy demand. When energy levels are low, the energy-sensing kinase AMPK phosphorylates the motor/adaptor protein TRAK1, arresting #mitochondria via the #actin #cytoskeleton. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

This is soooo annoying, I don't understand why people wouldn't just repeat the protocol (and cite it) 🫠🫠

Mitochondrial hitch-hiking of Mapt mRNA maintains Tau levels in axons Hitch-hiking of transcripts on organelles, including mitochondria, has emerged as a common pathway to transport mRNAs into the axon to enable their local translation. However, the extent of mitochondr...

New preprint from my lab!!!
We took advantage of the MitoTag mouse line to study what mRNAs associate with mitochondria in axons in vivo, and we were in for a surprise! Other than our favorite Pink1, mainly cytoskeletal mRNAs hitch a ride and pave the way for axon growth. shorturl.at/rYe1U

Ohhh, that sounds interesting!

Sorry but I don't think women are the ones who should be taking the course on "emotional intelligence" 😅😅

Local mitochondrial physiology defined by mtDNA quality guides purifying selection Author summary Mitochondria are essential organelles in our cells that convert nutrients into usable cellular energy. They contain their own DNA, and mutations in this DNA can compromise mitochondrial...

How do cells assess mtDNA quality?

Local ATP and membrane-potential gradients reflect mtDNA integrity and drive intracellular purifying selection.

We introduce FAST, a scalable mtDNA QC assay in S. cerevisiae.

Great collaboration with the Schmoller Lab.

Super cool! 🤩

Thank you for explaining this in such a digestible way!

An was erinnert euch das?

Very cool work, Ryosuke!
