Mitochondrial dysfunction is a central hallmark of aging and energy transduction is a promising target for longevity interventions. New research suggests that interventions in how energy is transduced could benefit healthy longevity.

I am happy to propose a model for mammalian #mitochondria UPR signaling, published @Nature. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Mito protein misfolding induces two cytosolic signals –mtROS and mito protein precursor accumulation. These activate the mito UPR via a DNAJA1-HSF1 signaling axis.

We show that optogenetically increasing #mitochondrial membrane potential during adulthood using a #light-activated proton pump improves age-associated phenotypes and extends #lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. 👇 nature.com/articles/s43587-0…

A true surprise to find astrocyte primary cilia affected in mitochondrial brain disease. Big congrats for revealing new biology @ignatenkolesya, master mind behind the findings & @SatuMalinen_ @GulayseDunn et al. Now out in @JCellBiol. @HelsinkiUniMed @helsinkiuni @STEMMProgram
Mitochondrial dysfunction induces motile ciliogenesis program in astrocytes! 😯 New study in @JCellBiol by @ignatenkolesya @GulayseDunn @AWartiovaara from @ASW_lab and colleagues @helsinkiuni @STEMMProgram: bit.ly/3TJcqex #CellMetabolism #Disease #CellSignaling

The mitochondrial genome is detectable in practically every human biofluid, mostly found inside small vesicles or as whole mitochondria. @CarolineTrumpff and Shannon Rausser found that cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) also is detectable in human saliva.

New study in @Nature by Joanna Rorbach and Anas Khawaya @MolMet_KI visualizes in detail the machinery that the cells’ powerhouses, the #mitochondria, use to form their proteins. Collaboration with researchers at @Stockholm_Uni. #ribosomes news.ki.se/unique-insight-in…
