Very happy to share out latest preprint! Cortical astrocytes respond to mitochondrial stress by activating a ciliogenic gene expression program! Wonderful to have worked with Olesia Ignatenko Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara Anu Suomalainen-Wartiovaara Lab Satu Malinen on this exciting project! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mitochondria form a dynamic network. Fusion and fission of the network is crucial for processes such as metabolic activities and quality control of mitochondria. Defects in the dynamics machinery are often linked to neurological disease. #mitoawarenessweek #LightUpForMito

“In #Finland, I see many women in leadership roles. The country has a superb scientific environment and social welfare system,” says Yilin Kang, EMBO Postdoctoral Fellow Anu Suomalainen-Wartiovaara Lab University of Helsinki.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in CNS manifests with neurodegeneration and reactive gliosis, traditionally explained by vulnerability of [their majesty] neurons. We thought it may not be the full story... and found critical astrocyte contribution to the pathology! 🤓 1/

For the #WorldMitoWeek Anu Suomalainen-Wartiovaara Lab Henna Tyynismaa and @FhrcGracile are organizing an open doors day, with scientists, patients & families, doctors and Neuroliitto ry patient union talks. 21.9. at 15-18 EET. In Finnish, translated to English in zoom. Follow link: helsinki.fi/en/researchgro…

Together with Jodi Nunnari we joined our knowledge on mitochondrial biology and medicine to this review now out in Cell. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
