Spotlight: Mara Duncan Mara Duncan University of Michigan discusses work from Robinson et al. (hubs.la/Q02D196j0) that monitors the entry of newly synthesized and recycled cargo into #clathrin-coated vesicles associated with the adaptor protein complex-1. hubs.la/Q02D0VfF0

We're pleased to present a special collection examining the diverse mechanisms by which #mitochondria & other #organelles physically interact, & the roles these serve for cellular homeostasis. Explore our first Special Collection on this exciting topic ➡️ hubs.la/Q02D40D-0

Really thrilled to see our most recent study on PPTC7, led by @jerrylianjiewei, out today LifeScienceAlliance. We show that PPTC7 unexpectedly localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane to facilitate BNIP3/NIX degradation, thus limiting mitophagy. life-science-alliance.org/content/7/9/e2…

The final version of our #bioorthogonal #lipidtime method for imaging rapid inter-organelle transport of fluorescent phospholipid analogs is now published — congrats to Lin Luan (Lin_Luan), Dongjun Liang, Dylan Chiu, & Reika Tei! doi.org/10.1021/acsche…

Significantly reduced, but balanced, rates of mitochondrial fission and fusion are sufficient to maintain the integrity of yeast mitochondrial DNA biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our recent paper in PLOS Genetics was featured on their virtual "cover"! Beautiful work from •emily•, Yuntong Zou, and Nikita Divekar on acentrosomal spindle assembly in oocytes! @ibisatnu Northwestern MolBioSci plos.org/wp-content/upl…

Beautiful live cell imaging of protein secretion in Tetrahymena sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

From MBoC Using novel mitochondrial fission-fusion mutants, @LLLackner find reducing mitochondrial fission/fusion rates ~20-fold has no adverse effect on mtDNA integrity, suggesting a limited number of events are required for mtDNA maintenance. doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…

Our annual collection highlights twelve of the most outstanding papers that showcase the exceptional range and quality of research published by JCB. We are delighted to serve as an independent venue for the awe-inspiring world of cell biology! hubs.la/Q02_fVs30 #CellBio2024

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…

Happy and proud to see this pre-print online. What started out as a worrying observation turned into a side project and then an intriguing investigation. We show that 5 widely used yeast ‘wild type’ strains differ drastically in their lipid composition! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Some good news (and fresh science) to break things up! Our work identifying a subpopulation of compositionally unique mitochondria that localize to filopodia and promote cell migration is now online Current Biology! Led by fantastic Madeleine Marlar-Pavey! cell.com/current-biolog…

On March 7th I will be Standing Up For Science - I hope you will be too

This is heartbreaking, sick and so so wrong nature.com/articles/d4158…

Today is the day to make our voices heard. Please attend if you are able. eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-for…

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…

It is beyond disturbing when the NIH and HHS Directors do not understand that animal models are essential in research statnews.com/2025/05/19/ani…

Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
