Mitochondrial hitch-hiking of Mapt mRNA maintains Tau levels in axons Hitch-hiking of transcripts on organelles, including mitochondria, has emerged as a common pathway to transport mRNAs into the axon to enable their local translation. However, the extent of mitochondr...

New preprint from my lab!!!
We took advantage of the MitoTag mouse line to study what mRNAs associate with mitochondria in axons in vivo, and we were in for a surprise! Other than our favorite Pink1, mainly cytoskeletal mRNAs hitch a ride and pave the way for axon growth. shorturl.at/rYe1U

So proud of Tabitha!

Only few days left to submit and abstract and register for the #EMBOmitoNervousSys.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

Following the keynote, we will continue on September 29 with a session on the role of mitochondria in neurodevelopment— these great speakers will highlight how mitochondrial function contributes to early brain development and organization.

Thinking like a scientist: not that trivial

I would love to hear your views on this article. I discuss some hurdles I faced when thinking about experiments and projects design. This is something no one formally teaches you.

Chaperone-mediated insertion of mitochondrial import receptor TOM70 protects against diet-induced obesity - Nature Cell Biology Latorre-Muro et al. show that the cytosolic chaperone PPID drives insertion of the mitochondrial import receptor TOM70 into the mitochondrial outer membrane, thereby regulating body temperature, gluco...

💫NEW by @ppuigserverb.bsky.social & co: the chaperone PPID drives insertion of the #mitochondria import receptor TOM70 into the mitochondrial outer membrane, regulating body temperature, glucose homeostasis and body weight in #obese mice.

I tried leaving the place formerly know as twitter a while back, but wanted a replacement. I tried LinkedIn but never managed to get the hang out of that one. So now I am here and I must say, it looks very promising! So many of you are already here! 🤗
