This poster is a must have for labs working on #MCS! A guide through the work of so many outstanding labs (apologies if we did not cite your work). Hang it in your office or lab, it will please your eyes and inspire your mind! Kudos to the driving force Antigoni Diokmetzidou! -LS

In their Cell Science at a Glance article, Antigoni Diokmetzidou & Luca Scorrano @LabScorrano summarise the mitochondrial contacts characterised in mammals, the mechanisms underlying their formation, and their principal functions.

It takes two to TANGO2!
TANGO2 binds the heat shock protein crystallin alpha B to prevent aggregation of the intermediate filament desmin and its loss models TANGO2-deficiency disorder
Many thanks to our team, collaborators and reviewers.

The peer-reviewed version of our paper on human tRNA 3' processing is now published in @NatureSMB. Many thanks to the reviewers for their constructive comments!

Happy to share a new preprint, in which we describe the mechanism of human tRNA 3' processing. We show why the RNase Z ELAC2 acts as a monomer in the nucleus, but forms a multi-subunit complex in mitochondria. Plase see 🧵 by @BhattaArjun2p for details!

New structural and functional analyses show that FASTKD4 supports non-canonical RNA processing and MT-ND3 mRNA stability. Thanks to all authors for their contributions and the reviewers for their kind advice!

Update! We outline AIVE, an AI method for volume EM data. We show the benefits of AIVE for reconstructing your FIB-SEM data, reveal some fascinating cell biology, and define intrusions as a new form of mitochondrial contact.

Great to catch up with Helena Cochemé and Aleksandra Filipovska in Sitges #CSMito2024 ...both are doing great running their own labs - despite doing their PhDs in my lab...

Better CRISPR base editors!
More efficient nicking of the unedited DNA strand improves the ability to edit hard to reach bases.

Out today! We find that an epigenetic modification (6mA) to the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) influences lifespan and the heritability of mtDNA mutations to the next generation. It implies that epigenetics determines genetic composition in future offspring.
