Beautiful and very important work by Jonathan Friedman on the discovery of a further DRP that participates in cristae morphology! A must read! LS

Really excited to share some of our work in the mito911 series next Tuesday! See below for more details.

Calling all microscopists! BioImaging North America is having their first STED User Group meeting tomorrow, June 13th at 11am CT. We have a really good turnout so far and would love to have even more people join! bioimagingnorthamerica.org/events/sted-us…

Very grateful to MearsLab for this fantastic summary of our work identifying a new mitochondrial cristae shaping protein in Current Biology. Be sure to give it a read and check out our paper if you missed it! cell.com/current-biolog…

!!!!!!!!!!! nice work - minor pop of mitos dubbed METEORS enriched in Myo19 in filos; corrl'n btwn METEORS and filo L - loss of these filos impairs motility Compositionally unique mitochondria in filopodia support cellular migration biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm so excited to present my PhD work in this pre-print! We've discovered a novel population of mitochondria which are enriched for MICOS and MYO19 and traffic to the extreme periphery of cells.

Now curated in S. pombe model organism knowledgebase pombase.org/reference/PMID…, thanks Jonathan Friedman ! Another #UnknownProtein down!

A proud day for the lab! Congrats to Dr. Marlar-Pavey on an excellent talk and successful thesis defense! Madeleine Marlar-Pavey UTSW Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences UT Southwestern MSTP

Happy to have a chance to make a small contribution! Congrats Natalie Niemi Lianjie “Jerry” Wei 尉连杰!!

Excited to host an "Organelle Biogenesis, Turnover, and Quality Control" special interest subgroup American Society for Cell Biology Cell Bio 2024 with Natalie Niemi. Be sure to submit an abstract by Aug 6 if interested in speaking in the session! ascb.org/cellbio2024/ab…

If you're in the market for a TT faculty position, come join us in Cell Bio at UTSW! A great environment with fantastic colleagues and research!

Really excited to share our latest paper describing the MitoLuc assay for quantitative mitochondrial protein import, which we wrote in collaboration with Ian Collinson! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨The ECSO Lab at Purdue is looking for *two* PhD students and *one* postdoctoral researcher for the projects *“The energetic costs of new genes and cellular complexity”* and *“The physiology and metabolism of common and rare photosymbiotic associations.”* Please share 🙏

🚨 New paper alert from @martenssascha!🚨 We explore how transmembrane cargo receptors initiate selective autophagy. Through biochemical reconstitutions, we discover a new autophagosome biogenesis pathway with implications for therapeutic interventions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳 Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!  biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
