I'm so happy to share our work discussing nucleoid trafficking inside the mitochondrion and mitochondrial network, led by the amazing @jmacuada.bsky.social

How are mitochondrial nucleoids trafficked?

Mitochondria harbor their own DNA (mtDNA), which codifies essential proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system and locally feeds them to their surrounding inner mitochondrial membrane (...

Are you curious about how motile our mitochondrial genomes are 🧬? Live-cell nucleoid data inspired us to discuss exciting ideas from the field with amazing @isimolinar.bsky.social and Verónica Eisner in our new opinion at TCB 🤩! Here is a free-access link authors.elsevier.com/c/1keJq3QxxS....

Finally chaging the PhD candidate to PhD ✨️

Isi Molina-Riquelme @isimolinar.bsky.social · Jan 23

I'm actually doing it! But I wanted to read some real experiences before devoting myself to that enterprise 😅

I don't think it is the same unless you keep strict control of the tags. That could be an option 🤔

Does someone use the Zettelkasten method to take notes about papers? I'm still debating with myself if it is useful at all 😅

The extraordinary @jmacuada.bsky.social is participating in this amazing research about mitochondrial nucleoid distribution!

Juan C. Landoni 🔬 @jclandoni.bsky.social · Dec 23

Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉
We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and
@gavsturm.bsky.social
et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! 🔬🧵🧪

I tried to implement slack in my lab (I'm a PhD student) and failed miserably 😅

Literature about cristae quality control? It's my new hyperfocus (alongside Achilles and Patroclus; I have just finished reading The Song of Achilles)
