Be sure to check out MITOtalks Thursday (10am US central time) for a double feature, including our amazing student Alia @TheMitotracker who will be presenting her work identifying a new player in mitochondrial fission! You can find a zoom link at mitotalks.org

The MITOscience of tomorrow is back TODAY. See you there?

Excellent opportunity to listen from experts about the recent advances in Cell Biology at ASCB Annual Meeting 2024.

Excited to attend ASCB #CellBio2024! The Henne lab will present on a range of topics this year from molecular tethers that promote cell movement, to lipid transporters, to lipid droplets & metabolic rewiring. Please check out our lab's talks and posters:

A fantastic organelle session to attend at ASCB 2024.

Cohen lab will be well represented at #CellBio2024! If you love #Organelles, #MembraneContactSites, and/or #Neurons and #Astrocytes, please come say hello!

Join Alia Edington at poster No. B143 to see the latest on mitochondrial research from UT Southwestern Medical Center. And don’t miss our staff, researchers, and students at Exhibitor Booth 712! #cellbio2024 American Society for Cell Biology

Edington et al. @labfriedman UT Southwestern Medical Center identify a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that marks and facilitates a subset of sites of mitochondrial fission in human cells. hubs.la/Q030B0yQ0 #Organelles #Mitochondria

Looking for some holiday reading material? Our latest paper identifying a new player in mitochondrial fission is now out Journal of Cell Biology! A wonderful early present to see this now online! rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Latest findings from our lab lead by Madeleine Marlar-Pavey demonstrating how mitochondria compositionally diversified to meet cellular migration demand is now online Current Biology. Give it a read if you want to learn more about non-canonical function of this fascinating organelle.

Be sure to mark your calendars for March 26th at 12pm ET for the ASBMB Lipid Research Division (LRD) seminar series. We have two great mitochondria-focused lipid talks planned from Jason Casler from Laura Lackner's lab and Kailash Venkatraman from Itay Budin's lab. Register here! events.zoom.us/ev/AqPwG5k03Rl…

If you are on UTSW campus May 16, please join us for the Lipid Metabolism & Neurodegenerative Disease mini-symposium! Many thanks to keynote speaker Dr. Hugo Bellen.

This is Thomas Seyfried. He’s a professor of biology, who’s studied cancer for 30+ years. His message? Cancer isn’t bad genes or bad luck—it’s damaged mitochondria. This flips everything you’ve been told about how to treat & prevent cancer: 🧵

Please consider joining us next Wednesday on 4/16/2025 to hear our exciting guest speaker, Dr. Mike Henne (Henne_Lab) from UT Southwestern Medical Center UTSW Media Relations. Zoom link: ufl.zoom.us/j/99931714523

Great conversations happening at #ASBMB25. Visit us at booth 431 to learn more about the training and research UTSW Science UTSW Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Thrilled to share our new Nature Cell Biology paper, led by our amazing student Dohun Kim: Mitochondrial NADPH powers mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis to sustain lipoylation, mitochondrial translation, and oxidative metabolism. rdcu.be/eiyH7

SMIM20 promotes complex IV biogenesis and Ca2+ signaling in mice heart: Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…. Great collaboration with Niels Voigt, Czech Centre for Phenogenomics, D. Katschinski, & H. Urlaub. Thanks to Angela Boshnakovska, Laura Kremer and our lab!

Very excited to share our latest work, “Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function,” led by the fantastically talented Biochem, Biophys, and Structural Bio @ WashU graduate student Youmian Yan. A 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

“A dream come true”: A child walks again after breakthrough treatment for a rare genetic disorder—thanks in part to NIH-funded research. Scientists at NYU Langone Health discovered that a CoQ10 precursor can help brain cells restore energy production, offering new hope for families

Mitochondria: it’s a big word for tiny structures found in almost every human cell. Learn how research into these cellular powerhouses could lead to new ways of preventing and treating disease. bit.ly/413Cibq
