Mitochondrial dysfunction triggers actin polymerization necessary for rapid glycolytic activation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Have you ever wondered how your favorite #autophagy protein in yeast was shown to bind #membranes? Check out our new review summarizing this literature. Awesome work by graduate student Kelsie Leary summarizing all of this data. mdpi.com/2073-4409/11/1…

This looks quite useful!

In Journal of Cell Biology, Chakrabarti Chakrabarti Lab, Tak Shun Fung et al. Higgs Lab Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth show that Arp2/3 complex-dependent #actin polymerization is necessary for the rapid glycolytic increase that accompanies treatments that compromise mitochondrial function bit.ly/3QMJnFk

I'm excited to share that the Landino Lab will officially open this summer at at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine in BCBDartmouth We will investigate cytoskeletal dynamics and cell division using Xenopus 🐸 We're recruiting at all levels - please share!

Proud to announce our most recent review/opinion piece on actin network assembly and remodelling. Thanks, Peter, for the opportunity to contribute to this 🙏! AddThis | Home authors.elsevier.com/c/1ggT63PA3sV0…

Higgs lab alum comes up with a wonderful score…. Waiting for all the cool science that Raj has to offer in future…

A wonderful review from Higgs Lab Chakrabarti Lab Tak Shun Fung on the many (and different!) functions of F-actin filaments around mitochondria

Interesting discovery that fura Ca+ fluorescent dyes are actually myosin inhibitors comparable to blebbistatin

✨ICYMI: New #NRMCBReview on the role of actin in mitochondrial biology, e.g., during mitochondrial fission, dysfunction and #mitophagy, or motility. ➡️"The multiple links between actin and mitochondria" by Tak Shun Fung, Chakrabarti Lab and Higgs Lab. go.nature.com/3Xj0sMg

Long-chain fatty acyl-coenzyme A activates the mitochondrial fission factors MiD49 and MiD51 by inducing their oligomerization biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super happy to announce I’ll be starting a new position at University of Liverpool News this Sept as a lecturer in Cancer Biology! Really excited about the upcoming years in this role 🥳🤩 thank you to all that have helped me along this academic rollercoaster 😚

Biochemical study by Higgs lab, finding that 'activating' phosphorylation of Drp1 does not directly activate its GTPase activity Effects of phosphorylation on Drp1 activation by its receptors, actin, and cardiolipin biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Elated to have been awarded an NIH MIRA R35 within a year of opening my lab !!! Grateful to Higgs Lab and MitoCare Center at Jefferson …. My lab will be recruiting at all levels….

Join us celebrating our faculty member Chakrabarti Lab for achieving this important milestone. Stay tuned! And if you are looking to join our vibrant scientific community, reach out! #AcademicTwitter #mitojobs mitojobs

Tested out an awesome new ER probe in an immature cardiac myocyte #microscopy #iSIM #fluorescence

First preprint from my laboratory, commendable efforts from Tak Shun Fung and Amrapali Ghosh and a superb collab with Marco Tigano and Higgs Lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am thrilled that our work on MemGraft probes for “permanent” fluorescent labelling of plasma membranes is out in JACS Au! We established a concept of lipid-directed covalent labeling of plasma membranes. Open access: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… MemGraft probes allow cell fixation,

Happy to share my work from Higgs Lab @Dartmouth on BioRxiv! We show that LACTB—a filament-forming serine protease & tumor suppressor—is essential for apoptosis-induced IMM remodeling, promoting cytochrome c release. #Mitochondria #Apoptosis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
