When science and art collide! Check out this awesome spin on our mitochondrial dynamics imaging in Arabidopsis hypocotyl cells! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34015261/ Nick is still looking for any live imaging in our favourite model plant- send him your videos for #ICAR2025
To advertise submissions for the #ICAR 2025 movie, I will be posting the coolest Arabidopsis live imaging with an artistic spin. Let's start with these awesome videos of mitochondrial movements by @ChusteckiSci. Thank you for sharing!
Got papped yesterday at the @OxfordBiology research showcase spreading the good word about mitochondrial dynamics! So fun in the new LaMB building and interacting with psych/bio colleagues 🌱🧠 (You can check out the paper I was soapboxing on here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...)

Well done, Joanna! New article out in collaboration with our Microscopy Core, @AltartouriB!
Exciting times! Our latest work is now out; we ask the question, are there any differences between plant mitochondria with and without mtDNA? 🌱 (1/9) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pp… #plantscience #plantsci #mitochondria
Great pleasure to host Dr. Shin-ichi Arimura @ArimuraIchi yesterday. His seminar on plant organellar genome editing was well attended. He was impressed to learn that we have a strong group of scientists working on plant and mammalian mitochondria here at UNL.@UNL_Biochem @UNL_PSI

Our review is now fully published and #OpenAccess in @AnnualReviews - with the SI appendix discussing labels, molecular sensors, and #quantification strategies for #mitochondria architecture and #dynamics! 🔬
🔬 Curious about #mitochondria #imaging but unsure where to begin? Our review might help! Now on early publication @AnnualReviews🚀📜 doi.org/10.1146/annure… @tatjana_kleele @SulianaManley @SteppWilli #Quantitative #Microscopy #SuperResolution #CellBiology
A little late to the announcement but I’ve joined the @schwarzland_lab for a short stay thanks to the @uni_muenster WiRe Fellowship! Here’s to a brief but bright few months!👩🏻🔬🌱

Thank you @MaurinoLab for hosting the plant mito crowd⚡️🌱@UniBonn @dfg_public Fabulous mito biology with friends 🧬 & a true highlight workshop by @MartinJLercher on @nightsciencepod 💡
Really enjoyed presenting our latest preprint at the meeting of the German plant mito group in Bonn! Some great ideas and discussions 🌱🔬
Excited to see our work out in preprint form! Not all mitochondria carry mtDNA in plants- so we asked: is there a link between dynamics, intermitochondrial connectivity and presence/absence of DNA- and we show- yes! 🤓🌱
