Decreased mitochondrial import from stress activates mtUPR, but then how do all those mitochondrial-saving expressed genes get back in? (1/2)

We find that the mtUPR also increases import that may help all these great proteins get in and save the organelle. This increased mitochondrial import is also essential for lifespan extension. If you are curious about mitochondria and longevity - this paper is for you!

Sent in our order and excited to get strains from @SunyBiotech. Makes genome editing a breeze, like this cool endogenously-tagged mCherry strain!!

Congrats to MCB's Andy Dillin @dillinlab on the 2022 Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences! 👏
The FNIH announces that @Stanford’s Dr. Anne Brunet and @UCBerkeley’s Dr. Andrew Dillin will receive the 2022 Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences for their independent but complementary research in biological mechanisms of aging.

Huge congratulations to @tayladhunter on a well deserved Goldwater Scholarship! Tayla did a fantastic job in our lab this past summer working with @holly_gildea. Any MD/PhD program would be lucky to have her!

Excited to share our new paper! We found that aged mice exhibited an exaggerated UPRER signature - lipid and protein synthesis overall were more suppressed, however, canonical UPRER proteins were translated at higher rates in aged mice under ER stress.

Hi Twitter! The Dillin lab is hiring a senior mouse technician to manage our mouse colony and assist with experiments in our studies of aging and stress response. Feel free to share this with anyone who you may think is interested! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/e…

And another preprint from @dillinlab @philfrankino @holly_gildea showing that overexpression of hsf-1 in only the 4 glial cells of #Celegans is enough to induce a heat shock response and longevity 9/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Another preprint from our lab is up now. In this one, @philfrankino et al. found and characterized a role for SKN-1 as a surveillance factor. Turns out it can monitor and respond to genetic perturbation of amino acid catabolism pathways and alter multiple stress resistances!

SKN-1 is a metabolic surveillance factor that monitors amino acid catabolism to control stress resistance biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Check out our latest paper by graduate student @holly_gildea which describes how glia can signal a pan organismal heat shock response independent of canonical neuronal circuits! Great work, Holly and team! @UCBerkeleyNeuro @berkeleyMCB

Ta da!! Pre-print up now!
