So proud of this beautiful new work from Dan Dou, and so grateful to Virginia Lee for inspiring this study!

.Dan Tudorica, Hurley Lab et al. Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s find that RAB7A phosphorylation in PINK1/Parkin #mitophagy displaces the #autophagy inhibitor Rubicon, whilst recruiting the structurally related positive regulator Pacer. hubs.la/Q02wPH680 Bishal Basak Erika Holzbaur-Howland

India vs Pakistan. New continent, same result 😛 T20 may be a batters’ game, but in New York, bowlers were the Apple of our eyes today.  What a thrilling match! Great atmosphere and a wonderful exhibition of our great game in America. Well played, India 🇮🇳 😊 #INDvPAK

What happens when neuronal mitochondria are damaged? Our group identifies a novel Mitophagic Stress Response (MitoSR) pathway that accelerates removal of damaged mitochondria via the PINK1/Parkin mechanism. Work funded by ASAP is now online at biorxiv at biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Of researchers whose positions depend on grants. You might not think of someone working in a lab when you think about "U.S. jobs" but in fact, there are more grad students in the USA than there are coal miners. You don't fix the economy by taking people's livelihoods away!

#CALLFORPAPERS! Do you work on #microtubules or molecular motors in the #brain? If so, we want your papers for a #NEW #SPECIALISSUE in #CYTOSKELETON. “Motors and microtubules in neuronal health and disease”. Submission deadline: Nov. 1, 2025. #FREE to publish.

New research from Bishal Basak & Erika Holzbaur-Howland reports the identification of a Mitophagic Stress Response ("MitoSR" - mmm, catchy!) activated by mitochondrial damage in neurons & operating in parallel to canonical Pink1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy nature.com/articles/s4146…
