For an overview of the role reactive oxygen species play in the regulation of mitochondrial activity and cytochrome c oxidase assembly, look no further than this #BiochemSocTrans mini-review from Erika Fdez-Vizarra and Povea-Cabello et al. doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

For research funders seeking to minimize bias in their selection process, removing applicants’ institutional affiliations from their submissions could help address a common disparity. Science Careers scim.ag/6EI

Another top-tier (Science) paper, cited several hundred times (>800), has just been retracted. While it might be relieving that one more unscientific paper is gone, I wonder what will happen to the appointments and the funding that people obtained based on that paper...

Wow. Marc Tessier-Lavigne, who resigned as Stanford University president this summer for overseeing labs that produced falsified research at 3 different institutions over 20 years, returns to biotech with $1bn in funding.

Check out our preprint! We have found that COA8, a metazoan-specific COX assembly factor, binds to the heme O synthase COX10 to regulate its function. COA8 is a COX10-binding protein involved in the early biogenesis of cytochrome c oxidase biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
