#NASA says addressing #mitochondria health changes in #Space is key to future space travel. At the New York Stock Exchange’s 1st #SpaceForum, our Chairman discussed with NYSE 🏛’s Trinity Chavez the promise of Mitochondria Organelle Transplantation (MOT™) to address this.

New preprint from the lab! Amazing student Madeleine Marlar-Pavey stumbled onto a very weird population of mitochondria in filopodia with a role in migration. They have very high levels of MICOS and myosin MYO19 at their tips that make them look like meteors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today in Science Magazine we report how lipids specialize for life under the crushing pressures of the deep sea and what this means more broadly for the composition of cell membranes (1/n) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Yesterday the Griffith Lab achieved a major milestone! We received the NOA for the lab’s first R01 🥳 Couldn’t have done this without the dedicated Griffith lab members, some (but not all), of which are pictured below. Onward and upward!

I'm excited to organize a session for ASCB CellBio24 with Marc Germain Marc Germain on “Mitochondrial nucleic acids and inter-compartmental signaling”! Abstracts are due August 6🗓️ - Link below!

🚨 New Preprint from Grotjahn Lab🚨 We show that ribosomes oriented for import on mitochondria cluster, make multiple contacts with, and induce local ultrastructural changes to mitochondrial membranes at import sites Atty Ya Ting Chang Ben Barad Hamid Rahmani ZidLab

Grad students: Around how much money ($$) do you think/assume/guess your advisor/PI is given each year by their university (as condition of employment and not related to grants) for *general* lab operations (computers, lab supplies, etc.)? #AcademicTwitter

The big one is out 🎉 So over the moon to see our latest work with Steph Vassilopoulos published in Science Magazine. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

You’re telling me TWO PHOTONS made this image
