🚨How do mitochondria sense and respond to metabolic stress from the environment in diabetes? 🤔

In new work out in #ScienceAdvances, we show that innate immune signaling promotes β cell compensation for metabolic stress by engaging mitophagy. 🚨1/n

TRAF6 integrates innate immune signals to regulate glucose homeostasis via Parkin-dependent and Parkin-independent mitophagy
TRAF6 bridges innate immune signaling to mitophagy to promote glucose control during metabolic stress.

⚡The PP2A-B55α phosphatase is a master regulator of mitochondrial degradation and biogenesis⚡
-Mitochondrial ROS triggers mitophagy through activating the DNA damage response signaling pathway

Thanks to @biomednews.bsky.social
PP2A-B55α activates TFEB upon mitochondrial damage to support Parkin-dependent mitophagy.

On Truth and Reconciliation Day, we wear orange to honour survivors of residential schools and remember those who we lost. Reconciliation is ongoing work, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and walking together with respect.

I have gotten a bit behind at sharing the lab’s latest work - this paper is now published - check it out! www.cell.com/cell-reports... Long story short: insulin is the major determinant of female fat storage, with a relatively minor effect on males.

Hello! Welcome to the CIRTN-R2FIC BlueSky account! Our group focuses on researching pancreatic islet biology and pathology related to islets such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Here you will find bi-weekly updates from the scientists from across Canada that make up CIRTN-R2FIC.
