Women in Mitochondria

If you are interested in mitochondria, Nashville is the place to be June 1-5. Check out this FASEB meeting. Please RT. events.faseb.org/event/mitoch...

QR code for 3 jobs

📢 We have not 1 but 3 clinical/patient-facing jobs working with #mitoCAMB on the #LifeArc #raredisease centre for #mito diseases.

1x pre/post-doctoral CRA;
1x post-doctoral CRA (with potential to become a 4 year ACL); 1x research coordinator

Join us! Links below.

Hypoxia as medicine

A recent manuscript by @sulianamanley.bsky.social's lab led by @jclandoni.bsky.social describes reversible mitochondrial pearling as a driving force for mtDNA regular distribution within mitochondria.

PKmito ORANGE was used in to image mitochondrial pearling by STED microscopy in live cells.

SLC25A38 is required for mitochondrial pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) accumulation Nature Communications - Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP, vitamin B6) is crucial for various metabolic processes. Here, the authors identified SLC25A38 as a key regulator of mitochondrial PLP...

Here is a quick thread to promote my research! After years of dedicated research, I'm thrilled to share our article just published at Nature Communications :)

Cancer cells ‘poison’ the immune system with tainted mitochondria Immune cells lose their cancer-fighting prowess after taking tumours’ organelles on board.

Really interesting paper 🧪 🤩

Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer 😮
