It looks great on the paper but you also mention it. I think it will be challenging to find people to βfreelyβ replicate anotherβs group experiments. Thatβs time and resources invested for almost no reward. Not sure if a citation as a peer replicator is worth the time and the effort
I have the feeling that this will not workβ¦.

What a lovely paper from @dplamartin.bsky.social and his team! Mechanistic insight to mtDNA turnover at the lysosomes. π¬
WTHβ¦ is VPS35 the next candidate to fight mitochondrial dysfunction? I just leave it hereβ¦
We then used Drosophila and expressed VPS35β¦. π₯ π₯ π€―
Ok! But letβs be seriousβ¦ we noticed that overexpression of the Retromer increased mtDNA releaseβ¦ could we use this to clean up mtDNA damage?
Not only that! Whenever mtDNA is released, look whoβs there?! A lysosome
What then? We found that the leak gets inhibited upon inhibition of BAX1 but not VDAC1
