We are a group of metabolism-lovers, focused on mitochondrial metabolism. Tweets are from Christian. https://network.febs.org/users/399680-christian-frezza
This is a topic I am very passionate about, and something I am learning every day. I hope you will enjoy the read, and you will find it useful. Happy to hear your views about the topic. The mindful scientist network.febs.org/posts/the-mind… #FEBSnet
Today we are publishing 2 MANUSCRIPTS in @NatureComms 1. @NataliaPardoL discovers the role of nuclear MTHFD2 in centromere stability 2. Espinar and Garcia-Cao reveal the role of nuclear IMPDH2 in the DNA damage response. Nuclear Metabolism is on 🔥
Metabolic enzymes are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within the nucleus, where they orchestrate critical functions like cell division and DNA repair. The discovery by @SdelciL in @NatureComms can help develop new metabolism-based cancer therapies.
New study from us: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… High mtDNA copy number promotes lung cancer growth in the mouse, whereas mtDNA depletion in tumor cells reduces tumor growth. This tumor-intrinsic role for mtDNA can be exploited for development of future lung cancer therapies.
💡Exciting news! Our latest study, in collaboration with Prof. Mirela Kuka’s lab, is out now—uncovering how T cell–derived IFN-γ can suppress T follicular helper (TFH) cells and limit antibody responses. 🚀🧵(1/10) embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… 🔬Approach: We used a subcutaneous LCMV…
This is a huge decision from the Guardian. I believe too that X has become a polarised political platform that has lost its purpose and sadly, I no longer support it, despite its initial good intention. I will move my activity to @frezzalab.bsky.social theguardian.com/media/2024/nov…

🥳 Happy to share our new preprint where we describe the molecular machinery regulating iron transport between lysosomes and mitochondria, how it controls the melanoma drug tolerant persister state and the consequences of its perturbation on ferroptosis 👉 researchsquare.com/article/rs-534…
Today in @CellCellPress we report a new pathway of ketone metabolism. This BHB shunt generates an orphan family of anorexigenic ketone metabolites that are chemical cousins of exercise-inducible Lac-Phe. Congratulations @mariadolores_mg @Stanford_ChEMH cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Fantastic opportunity to work with a great mentor on a very fascinating topic! 🔥🔥🔥

Out today @NatureAging ! Life stress can accelerate aging and shorten lifespan, but how remains unclear. We identify that hippocampal/cortical neurons acquire features of p16-dependent #senescence and DNA damage in mice exposed to chronic social stress. nature.com/articles/s4358…
If your world feels ripped apart and research seems suddenly pointless, see this week’s Science Without Anguish post! 🧪 ‘Healing the wounds: why science and research culture matter more than ever now’ sciencewithoutanguish.com/blog/healing-t… Please tell colleagues, on or off social media.
In academia, we often hear about the importance of networking, but the focus is usually on professional connections. Here, I present a different angle of networking, one that is often overlooked but equally important (if not even more important): your network of support. The…
