Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉 We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.6…), and @sturm_gav et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.6…). Details below! 🔬🧵

Time for a short explicative 🧵 for the busy 🐝! In our new report (#OA: rdcu.be/dTXcm) we found that enhancing #mtDNA replication can be deleterious for newborn #heart, causing dilated #cardiomyopathy & #ferroptosis 🫀 (1/6)
My last #PhD project out in @NatureComms, and first paper as co-corresponding author 🤓 Summary thread coming soon 📜 Massive thanks to the incomparable @AWartiovaara @seminerkul @JMitophile @Kivela_lab @WickstromLab and all other contributors!

Thank you JCB for selecting our article on metabolic ciliopathy of astrocytes as one of the 10 highlights of 2023 in the journal’s special issue ”Year in Cell Biology” @ignatenkolesya @GulayseDunn @HelsinkiUniMed @helsinkiuni @STEMMProgram @ASW_lab @HiLIFE_helsinki
.@ignatenkolesya @GulayseDunn @AWartiovaara et al show that mitochondrial DNA depletion in astrocytes causes abnormal primary #cilia morphology w/ aberrant induction of motile cilia factors bit.ly/3TJcqex From the Year in Cell Biology bit.ly/46vsYNn #Cellbio2023

Being a scientist is the best job. When the lab becomes silent on Friday evenings, the ideas from the past week start to get together and bubble. Alone in the office, content and energized. So happy to work with you all @ASW_lab!

Mitochondrial dysfunction in CNS manifests with neurodegeneration and reactive gliosis, traditionally explained by vulnerability of [their majesty] neurons. We thought it may not be the full story... and found critical astrocyte contribution to the pathology! 🤓 1/
