Excited our study showing that #myosin motors bound to #membrane can drive #actin-protrusion elongation is now out in Developmental Cell! Big thanks to my mentor & lab Matt Tyska & co-authors MLW, Caroline Bodnya & Olivia Perkins authors.elsevier.com/c/1gObX5Sx5gq8… 🧵for details 1/12

My microscopy image was featured on the cover of Journal of Neuroscience Research. Look at all that mito!

Great work by Andrew Patterson to show IEI & IEM share more than previously known--a CRISPR resource for new immunometabolic genes Functional Overlap of Inborn Errors of Immunity and Metabolism Genes Define T Cell Immunometabolic Vulnerabilities biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm excited to share that our study on how DRP1 mutations impact mitochondrial function and metabolism is out now in J Cell Science! doi.org/10.1242/jcs.26… The image below shows mitochondria (grey), peroxisomes (orange), and nucleus (cyan) in DRP1 mutant cells.

Happy Tuesday! Nikon Instruments Vanderbilt Cell Imaging Shared Resource #cellbiology #microscopy #biology #mitochondria

The article by Robertson et al. Gabriella Robertson Vivian Gama Vanderbilt University showing that DRP1 mutations associated with EMPF1 encephalopathy alter mitochondrial membrane potential and metabolic programs is #openaccess: ow.ly/bxnw50MX5hi

CONGRATS Gabriella Robertson Vivian Gama on receiving the Steve Hann award for 2023. The Steve Hann Outstanding Graduate Student Award is presented annually to graduate students who exhibit “outstanding performance and evident promise as an independent research scientist and educator.”
