Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉 We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.6…), and @sturm_gav et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.21.6…). Details below! 🔬🧵

Time for a short explicative 🧵 for the busy 🐝! In our new report (#OA: rdcu.be/dTXcm) we found that enhancing #mtDNA replication can be deleterious for newborn #heart, causing dilated #cardiomyopathy & #ferroptosis 🫀 (1/6)

My last #PhD project out in @NatureComms, and first paper as co-corresponding author 🤓 Summary thread coming soon 📜 Massive thanks to the incomparable @AWartiovaara @seminerkul @JMitophile @Kivela_lab @WickstromLab and all other contributors!

Fantastic work and exciting findings by @jclandoni and @ASW_lab👇
High mtDNA replication frequency is deleterious for newborn heart, causing dilated cardiomyopathy & ferroptosis. Our paper out in @NatureComms, outstanding work by @jclandoni. Thanks for crucial results @seminerkul @ASW_lab @HelsinkiUniMed @helsinkiuni nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Thank you JCB for selecting our article on metabolic ciliopathy of astrocytes as one of the 10 highlights of 2023 in the journal’s special issue ”Year in Cell Biology” @ignatenkolesya @GulayseDunn @HelsinkiUniMed @helsinkiuni @STEMMProgram @ASW_lab @HiLIFE_helsinki

Being a scientist is the best job. When the lab becomes silent on Friday evenings, the ideas from the past week start to get together and bubble. Alone in the office, content and energized. So happy to work with you all @ASW_lab!

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/
