To US friends: 16 year old asked if he will be conscripted. I get the mind numbing reality you find yourselves in. But you have power! Democracy lies in grass root politics - don’t wait for a leader. You taught the world how to rise up for change. You got this! Love, Canada
Happy Wednesday. Felt like a good time to open @Bluesky channel and hopefully see more science with less doomscrolling! Managed the same handle "mitodynamics". I'll try to find you all, but I'm rather a luddite and will need your help!
Congratulations Julien @LabPrudent! Looks like a masterpiece, I look forward to reading and sharing it. I know how much work it is to put these together so thank you to @Tabara_LC and @MayukoSegawa and all involved.
Thrilled to share the last review of the lab led by @Tabara_LC and @MayukoSegawa on the mechanisms regulating mitochondrial morphology!!! @MRC_MBU Just out in @NatRevMCB. Thanks @lisa_heinke for the smooth editorial process!
A new study into the October 7 attacks is out today, detailing the Israeli intelligence failures. The author, and our regular Monday guest, @SteinJanice joins. Noon EST on @CanadaTalks167 & podcast platforms. 📌 Read the article here: tnsr.org/2024/10/bringi…
Interesting: @TheNeuro_MNI researchers & collaborators report iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons form "Lewy body-like inclusions" after exposure to α-synuclein PFFs, but only in combo with IFN-γ or IL-1β treatment or co-culture with activated microglia nature.com/articles/s4159…
Submit to J Cell Science! A historical journal that cares about our community. They spotlight young "Scientists to Watch", support meetings and travel grants, offer free publication fees, and focus on building community. Mitochondriaks must support them and send us your new work!
**Deadline extended to 1 November 2024** Submit your paper for our next special issue: Cell Biology of Mitochondria. Guest edited by Ana J. Garcia-Saez @GarciaSaez_Lab & Heidi McBride @mitodynamics tinyurl.com/mry5cvfs

Congratulations @BrestoffLab! Encourage all to read this paper. I’m so intrigued at the mechanisms behind this - it’s a wide open field of cell biology and papers like this provide a critical framework to study it. Thank Jon and team for this transformative work.
Very excited to share our latest paper out today @NatMetabolism showing that #mitochondria transfer and transplantation may reduce the morbidity and mortality of #LeighSyndrome, a fatal mitochondrial disease with no effective therapies. dlvr.it/TCjPl6
We are hiring! Please RT The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute is seeking candidates for four (4!) positions for a Principal Investigator. lunenfeld.ca Applications close Oct. 20. @MbD_UofT @uoftmedicine @UofTEPIC @gingraslab1 @DonnellyCentre @uoftresearch
We're still accepting submissions for our upcoming special issue on the 'Cell Biology of Mitochondria', which will be guest edited by Ana Garcia-Saez (@GarciaSaez_Lab) & Heidi McBride (@mitodynamics). Submission deadline: 1 October 2024 #mitochondria journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/mito…
Happy Canada Day! Listening to The Tragically Hip and wondering if Biden could maybe arrest Trump now that Presidents are immune? I’m no expert on the crazy US political world, but from up here it’s looking rather bleak.
Congratulations Julien et al!! It’s a real tour de force with fundamental mechanistic insights into mtDNA control. A must-read!
Delighted to share the last study of the lab led by the fantastic postdoc @Tabara_LC out in @CellCellPress !!! We show how MTFP1 controls mitochondrial fusion to regulate inner membrane quality control and maintain mtDNA levels. @MRC_MBU @Cambridge_Uni authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…
We recently welcomed Rob Parton (@LabParton) to the JCS team. With his broad areas of expertise, Rob will handle papers covering a variety of topics, including membrane trafficking, lipids and endocytosis. If you’d like to discuss a possible submission, please get in touch or…
