Finally, increasing MERCS in an Alzheimer's disease Drosophila model can rescue lifespan and motor phenotypes. We found that knocking down the Drosophila homologue of GET4 also results in increased MERCS, a rescue of lifespan and motor phenotypes and is neuroprotective.

Check out my new preprint investigating novel regulators of Mitochondria ER-Contact sites (MERCS)!!

We then found that the loss of GET4 resulted in an increase in Mitochondrial calcium concentration and an increase in basal respiration.

I'm drowing in some very cool lanyards! I WILL be rocking one of these bad boys to work tomorrow.

Who else wants one?

Lets make orange the colour of preprints!

We're delighted to unveil our shiny new logo 🎉. Follow the orange🍊!

We've also been busy 🐝 crafting some cool merch, coming soon.

But we ain't done yet. Next year we will be bringing you documentaries, a new format and more!

In this weeks episode we chat with three authors from the @AydoganLab about super weird (but cool) cell division that occurs without nuclei!

Coming tomorrow! 🎙 Listen: https://t.co/hF2NBQxy36 ☕️ Support us: https://t.co/PXA59LHvdD
