Mitochondrial dynamics proteins have other functions than just regulating mito dynamics, but they are often forgotten.

Congrats to the team and especially Rémi Chaney and @gillesgouspillou.bsky.social who did the heavy lifting on this review 💪

Aged mice exhibit widespread metabolic changes but preserved major fluxes
Metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of aging, but how metabolic pathway activity (flux) changes with age has yet to be broadly assessed. Here, Jankowski et al. measure metabolite concentrations and ...
