MitotypeExplorer: an interactive web resource to explore mitochondrial molecular diversity in different tissues and under diverse experimental conditions
If you want to explore your favorite mitochondrial gene, function, or pathway in different human tissues and organs, have a look at the first version of
MitotypeExplorer.org
Feedback welcome!

Grateful to work with so many talented and passionate people to build the foundation for how we think about mitochondria, energy, health, and healing
Kudos @AnnaMonzel for coming up with the "motherboard" analogy
Thank you @janellison

Such a fun project! I enjoyed processing and mitotyping the single nuclei RNAseq data. Chapeau to Eugene, Ayelet, @MichelTdS, @MitoPsychoBio and all co-authors for creating the first MitoBrainMap 👏

🧠 Just out in Nature: A human brain map of mitochondrial diversity. A powerful collaboration with Mosharov and @MitoPsychoBio. Big step toward bridging cell biology and neuroimaging!

All mitochondria in your body comes from the same "mother" population in the egg/oocyte, later differentiating into distinct mitochondrial phenotypes or "mitotypes" (like cell types)
In the end, we are made of dozens of different specialized mitotypes
New preprint where @AnnaMonzel quantifies how different mitochondrial populations are in different organs and tissues, and within the same cell type exposed to different challenges over several months

Well. It REALLY happened. The plagiarized paper got published.
my paper from 2021 - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3391…
new one from 2024 - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3870…
We'll look at figures in the 🧵 below.

Psilocybin's powerful short- and long-term effects on your brain are revealed by this intrepid precision imaging drug trial published in @Nature. As one of the scientists I was also a study volunteer. Spending hours in an MRI scanner, while tripping on 25 mg was the experience of a lifetime. Ever since, it's fascinated me that I can remember all of it, even though my thoughts were massively distorted. I took notes afterwards and turned them into a story ... given the interest, I'll try to publish it somewhere.
Study: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
NPR coverage: npr.org/sections/shots-healt…
After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a reset of circuits critical to the sense of self.
Our study is out today in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Such great work!

Is brain mitochondrial biology linked to our positive and negative psychosocial experiences?
@CarolineTrumpff looked into this question using a brain multi-omic postmortem dataset from individuals who reported their subjective experiences yearly until they died.

#NewIssue On the cover: In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Li et al. reveal that sick neurons release lipids to the glia, causing lipid droplet accumulation and neuroinflammation. The artwork, inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night, depicts a brain with lipid droplets. Artwork by Melody Hui.

Why are transitions always difficult?
Whether a conscious, thinking, feeling organism; or a single cell; life transitions are always hard because they cost energy.
We discuss the energetic cost of transitions, the ISR, and GDF15:

Anna Monzel retweeted
Perspective: ISR is an energetic checkpoint evolved to prevent OxPhos-deficient cells from engaging in excessively costly transitions, and allow ISR-positive cells to recruit systemic energetic resources.academic.oup.com/lifemeta/ad…
Bravo!! Amazing work @n_bobba_alves , @MitoPsychoBio, and all co-authors!
