@drkhole.bsky.social also found mitochondria being released from astrocytes but not internalised by neurons… Excited to see how this story develops 👀

MitoTracker transfers from astrocytes to neurons independently of mitochondria The mitochondrial dye MitoTracker is commonly used to investigate intercellular mitochondrial transfer (IMT), particularly between astrocytes and neurons. Hole et al. compare MitoTracker with a geneti...

⚡️We are excited to share a new paper from the lab by @drkhole.bsky.social in @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social - suggesting MitoTracker dyes are not a reliable tool for detecting intercellular mitochondrial transfer❗️ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Non-canonical roles of lysosomes in neurons Neurons are highly polarised and compartmentalised cells with organelles that are specialised to support their spatial and functional demands. This includes lysosomes, which are single-membrane-bound ...

Check out the first review from the Mitochondrial Neurobiology lab on... lysosomes!

Congratulations to Dr. Patrick Cottilli who has successfully defended his PhD viva yesterday!!🎉 This is a huge milestone for our lab - our first-ever PhD graduate!⭐ So proud of your hard work, creativity, and perseverance throughout these 4 years. Here's to the amazing science ahead!🔬

Do you want to do a PhD with me and Mike Devine? Of course you do! Or if not, maybe you know someone who does? @devinelab.bsky.social www.crick.ac.uk/careers-stud...

We report that MitoTracker, a dye commonly used to label mitochondria, transfers from astrocytes to neurons independently of mitochondrial transfer ⚠️ This should prompt an essential reevaluation of the literature concerning mitochondrial transfer that has been observed using mitochondrial dyes 📖

We are excited to share a new preprint from our lab led by Katy Hole (@drkhole.bsky.social) in collaboration with MSD (UK).
