📢Preprint alert! Very excited to share the first preprint from the lab spearheaded by stellar postdoc @EloiseMLMrqs. An inherited mtDNA mutation remodels inflammatory cytokine responses in macrophages and in vivo. 1/n https://t.co/vpqgzDsMCm

Impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics in macrophages can drive hyperinflammatory cytokine responses[1][1]–[6][2], but whether this may also be caused by inherited mtDNA mutations is unknown. Here, we...

I asked chatGPT to make a video: A 2-minute YouTube video for teenagers explaining what mitochondria are, what they do and why they are special (e.g. own DNA, inherited from mother, bacterial origin). https://t.co/vSe5NvdXlJ What do you think?

Ever heard the phrase “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” ? It’s a classic meme, but there’s so much more to these tiny legends than just producing energy!

New research shows the heavy toll PhD studies take on mental health, with a 40% rise in psychiatric medication by the fifth year. It's time to address the doctoral students' pressure and prioritize their well-being. #PhD

Completed my first 100+ km trail ultramarathon yesterday finishing on the podium in 3rd place. It was one of the toughest challenges I've ever experienced. I'm no olympian but amazed how our #mitochondria can power us beyond what we think our bodies can do https://t.co/G6WNd4XkWR

An exciting contribution from our collaborators reveals an ageing signature from unique mitochondrial mutations that bypass selection!
We decided to readvertise our exciting paper 'Cryptic mitochondrial ageing coincides with mid-late life and is pathophysiologically informative in single cells across tissues and species' 1/6 https://t.co/U3xtE5qT2p
