Delighted to share the last study of the lab led by the fantastic postdoc @Tabara_LC out in @CellCellPress !!! We show how MTFP1 controls mitochondrial fusion to regulate inner membrane quality control and maintain mtDNA levels. @MRC_MBU @Cambridge_Uni authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Great fun writing this @ScienceMagazine Perspective with @Jellevda on the work from @jclandoni , @SulianaManley and colleagues showing how mitochondrial pearling organises mtDNA! Beautiful study and stunning microscopy 👏 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Check out the fantastic perspective by @Jellevda & @LabPrudent on our #pearling work, out in the same @ScienceMagazine issue! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Congrats again Luisca @Tabara_LC . Such a pleasure working with such a talented scientist on this project! Very much deserved!! And btw, Luisca will be presented the story at the next @MitOtalks this Thursday 13 June!!! 🔥🔥
Thrilled to announce that our project has been published in @CellCellPress. In this work, we link mitochondrial dynamics to mitochondrial quality control and mtDNA maintenance by characterizing the molecular function of MTFP1. Please DM; happy to discuss! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Congrats to @alexostomate and Jordan Morris for this study! And thanks to everyone involved @AaltonenMariJ @MichielKrols @HAntonicka !! It was a pretty cool collab with the E. Shoubridge's lab and @gingraslab1.
Another ER-mitochondria tether. Thank you @alexostomate and Eric Shoubridge for leading this project. ESYT1 tethers the ER to mitochondria and is required for mitochondrial lipid and calcium homeostasis life-science-alliance.org/co…
