🔥Smoking hot new paper and tweetorial from @djcalebc.bsky.social (collab with Chinnaiyan Lab)! 🔥

We are over the moon about this new work and its therapeutic implications for pancreatic cancer. Please have a read and share your thoughts/feedback! 🙏🏼

Beyond grateful to share that my main PhD thesis project, Targeting PIKfyve-driven lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer (@lyssiotislab.bsky.social + Arul Chinnaiyan lab), has just been published in @nature.com!

Congratulations @djcalebc.bsky.social and all the other authors! It was amazing seeing this project develop over the last few years!

ONLINE NOW! Subcellular mitochondrial heterogeneity enables opposing metabolic demands, by @brandontwchen.bsky.social, Yatrik Shah and @lyssiotislab.bsky.social, discussing the recent work by @keunwooryu.bsky.social et al.
Read it for free until March 19th at:

(A) Oxidative mitochondria, in red, retain cristae to house the electron transport chain, comprising complexes CI, CII, CIII, CIV, and CV. Glutamine metabolism in the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle fuels ATP synthesis. Oxidative mitochondria can be identified by the retention of CV expression. Reductive mitochondria, in blue, lose cristae and use reducing potential to drive reductive ornithine and proline biosynthesis from glutamine. Reductive mitochondria distinctly present with pyrroline-5-carboxylase synthase (P5CS) filaments. (B) Reductive mitochondria in which P5CS has been oligomerized into filaments are sequestered via mitochondrial fission, a process that can be mediated by dynamin-like protein 1 (DRP1). Mitochondrial fusion sequesters oxidative mitochondria. This process can be driven by mitofusin 1 and 2 (MFN1/2).

The end of an era. @brandontwchen.bsky.social brought us kicking & screaming into cell biology, and what an exciting journey it’s been. We are so very proud of everything he’s accomplished! Join us 1/17 for his defense. Thereafter… watch out NYC, here he comes!!

New TrendsinBiotech w/ Shea Lab, led by Kate & Michael. We cover concepts bridging nano/materials and immunity; e.g., nanoparticles can be designed with immune-modulatory metabolites (poly-lactate) 😎

This was truly a collaborative effort between so many groups at the University of Michigan and I couldn’t be more thankful to be part of such a great research environment!

In short, we characterized the isolated Klebsiella oxytoca strains (UMKO1) using genomic sequencing, metabolomics and murine tumor explants grown in TIF media (TIFM). A physiological media developed by the Muir lab @muirlab.bsky.social

Our new preprint is now online! Here we describe in detail our strategy to isolate bacteria and fungi from pancreatic cancer patients. We also characterized a newly isolated Klebsiella oxytoca strain (UMKO1) in more detail. Thank you to all the co-authors and mentors! @lyssiotislab.bsky.social
