I am excited to share our most recent work from the @baurlab published @nature revealing SLC25A51 expression regulates mitochondrial NAD levels and encodes the mammalian mitochondrial NAD transporter. #NAD #mitochondria #metabolism nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Our new study describing a "potential" mitochondrial glutathione transporter (SLC25A39 and 40). Congrats to all of my amazing lab members and collaborators involved in this work for the last 4 years. @RockefellerUniv @Nature @TriIMDPhD nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In the failing heart, short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are more readily oxidized than ketones & represent an unexplored source of energy production. Read more: ow.ly/moXN50EEwPH #AHAJournals @DougLewandowski

We are excited to share the first paper from our lab @NatMetabolism. We discovered that mitochondrial NADP is essential to enable proline synthesis and reveal the first example of mammalian proline auxotrophy nature.com/articles/s42255-0…. 1/12

We had a blast writing this mini-review on the recent discovery of the mito-NAD transporter in mammalian cells, & what it could mean for the broader field of NAD biology. @alexjbott @Yeyunouyang @giuliosf @KoryLab @timluongo @e_girardi @TrendsBiochem authors.elsevier.com/a/1ccL3…

The RECOVERY Data Monitoring Committee reviewed data on patients randomised to convalescent plasma vs. usual care. The preliminary analysis based on 10,406 randomised patients with 1873 reported deaths shows no significant difference in the primary endpoint of 28-day mortality.

Yes - he wrote to me and sent me this article a few weeks ago too! He really did discover the shuttle 60 yrs ago. I sent him the recent NAD transport papers from @nora_kory @DMSabatini @BaurLab @LACambronne. He seemed happy to see this is a major area of research in 2020.
