Happy to share this great news!!! Looking forward the next four years to come, working on the very exciting topic of how mitochondria regulate cell function! As usual, we will keep a special focus on brain 🧠 #mitochondria #brain #CRC1218
📣Congratulations to all of us! 🎉🎉🎉 The #CRC1218 is funded by the DFG for another four years! This collaborative grant will foster exciting discoveries on how #mitochondria regulate cell function.

We are very happy to share our work Weak neuronal glycolysis sustains cognition and organismal fitness which is out today in open access at @NatMetabolism !! A great effort led by #DaniJimenezBlasco and an excellent group of collaborators !! nature.com/articles/s42255-0… 🧵 1/5👇

Very happy to be part of such a great story from @RobertaFilogra2 and @mitopinionated! A clear example that also negative data are needed to progress our scientific knowledge.
Our study is finally out! nature.com/articles/s41531-0… We here show that PARKIN is dispensable for OXPHOS function in adult mouse tissues and in skeletal muscle from a PD-patient. Thanks to @mitopinionated , @LabMotori, @perlmannlab and Per Svenningsson for the great collaboration!

Replying to @ScienceAdvances
@ScienceAdvances published our paper in which we asked: "Where does all the sugar go in the brain?" ...it's less the size of the brain, than slow chemical signaling, 4 main findings below 🧵 doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adi76… #ScienceAdvancesResearch funding: Starting Grant @ERC_Research

Remember we were travelling a few weeks ago to look at possible destinations for our # glia2027. You guessed right, we were in #Italy, namely #Bologna + #Rimini. The decision has been made. #gliameeting goes to Bologna 🎉 We look forward to enjoying La Dolce Vita with you!
